Dear festival visitors, we would like to assure you that the film program will take place according to plan and in accordance with the regulations, i.e. November 5-12, 2020 in Prague and November 14-21, 2020 in Brno. According to the Resolution of the Government of the Czech Republic No. 958 on the adoption of a crisis measure, cinemas can fill a capacity of up to 500 spectators, which applies to all our festival cinemas. We will certainly follow the rules that protect you and those around you (e.g. wearing face masks, using disinfectant), but you will keep your favorite festival. The State Fund of Cinematography of the Czech Republic wrote a clear explanation for the field of audiovisual, where you can read the details.


The accompanying program will happen to the extent permitted by the current measures. We firmly believe that you will not miss any of the interesting events we have planned for you (lectures, discussions, masterclasses, workshops and much more). Your health comes first and we take the situation seriously. We will therefore carefully follow the government's statements and the recommendations of the hygienists and do our utmost to ensure that the program is organized as widely and safely as possible.


Come to the premiere of the festival trailer, where we will reveal the planned program, including films and accompanying events. It will take place online on October 15 from 7:00 p.m. on our Facebook profile. And we remind you that there are still some festival passes available, thanks to which you will see seven films for the price of five.

We wish you good health, a lot of strength and we look forward to seeing you maybe at the Lucerna cinema at the opening ceremony (the photo below is from 2019). We will keep you informed about the development of the situation.
