Curator's Choice
How are the films chosen for the festival competition?
„We have a feeling for when it works and when it doesn't. We talk about the films, this discussion is key, but we give the final decision time. The beauty of it is that often the discussion helps pull you into the film and you can still change your mind about it,“ say those who are in charge of selecting films for the festival: artistic director Karel Och, programme coordinator Anna Kořínek, and programmers Martin Horyna, Lenka Tyrpáková and Sandra Hezinová.
