For several years, our festival dedicated a separate section to Slovak films. When putting the section’s programme together, we always keep two basic objectives in mind: one, that it serves the juiciest titbits and the hottest new releases to the domestic audience; second, that it allows the festival’s foreign guests to get a faithful picture of Slovak cinema’s actual condition. We are compelled to observe with great satisfaction that there is plenty to choose from as Slovak films are receiving unprecedented international attention and film festivals are the platform where they have recently scored remarkable success.
