New Czech Animation and the Viewers‘ Choice Award on the Horizon

A novelty in this year’s programme is a showcase of contemporary Czech animation screened in our new section called Czech Horizons. This showcase is our reaction to a very positive phenomenon – the increased number of high-quality new Czech films – and will be complemented by domestic films from the international competition. The section will also introduce a new award – the Viewers‘ Choice Award. The viewers will have a chance to vote for the best Czech film of the festival out of approx. 30 competition films. The viewers can cast their votes electronically during the whole festival. The results will be announced at the festival closing ceremony. We will keep you informed about other details, competition films and the voting system.
