National Competition

The festival has presented domestic short films since its founding in 2005. Last year was the first time that filmmakers could submit their films to our new National Competition, and this year’s festival is no different. The National Competition is open to Czech short films up to 30 minutes in length made in 2018. This year, there are five films in competition: three student films created at the Film and Television School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU), one produced by TV Nova, and one created by the independent production company MasterFilm. The Best Film will receive a financial reward of 2,000 euros; the international jury will also award one Honorable Mention.
