Prague Film Festival 2027

Festival overview

About Prague Film Festival 2027

Physical film festival with submission categories including Feature Film and Short Fiction.

Festival is an international film festival designed for film professionals, critics, distributors, enthusiasts, and film school students. The festival plans to continue offering similar masterclasses in future editions.

Notable partners of the festival include: Kino Pilotu Prague, Le Palais Art Hotel Prague, Green Garden, Go Out, Bad Flash Bar, Radio 1, Festival of Animation Berlin, Navarra International Film Festival (GOYA qualifying), dog 95 film factory, ALTUM FRAMES, Shorts Wrap, International Film Festival ZOOM ZBLIZENIA and Art2Friends. The festival is committed to inclusion, focusing on social issues, minority stories, LGBTQ+ topics, and showcasing top-tier international films.

It was founded by two young filmmakers, director Erik Jasaň and producer Hynek Spurný, with the vision to bring artistically acclaimed short and feature-length foreign films. The festival officially welcomed 1000 attendees, which is a great success for its debut edition.

Attendees enjoyed fine Czech beer and wine, and many informal connections were made—connections we believe will lead to future collaborations. The festival closely collaborates with the SHORTS WRAP, which includes over 12 film directors whose works have premiered at Cannes, such as Raymund Ribay Gutierrez (Philippines), Helena Brooks (Australia), Javier Palleiro (Uruguay), Erenik Beqiri (Albania), Daria Kashcheeva (Czech Republic), and many more.

See you in Prague at Kino Pilotu, April 28 – May 2, 2027.
