  • IT’S ON! DEF IS IN FULL SWING!

    The DEF programme took over Prague cinemas on Wednesday and with several screenings in the presence of exceptional guests and film crews, the 29th Days of European Film off. The highlight was the opening ceremony at the Lucerna cinema, which was dominated by the Danish comedy Miss Viborg. Find out what other films are waiting for you here.

  • We’ve been in cinemas since Wednesday

    Quality and exclusively European films – that’s what awaits the audience in cinemas from this Wednesday. The festival will open with the Danish comedy Miss Viborg, while Wednesday’s programme also includes the documentary The Sailor, the Polish-French-Czech film Leave no Traces, the Spanish comedy drama The Sacred Spirit and the Norwegian film Thelma. During the festival, audiences will be able to choose from more than 40 films in six programme sections and meet special guests in the cinemas. At the same time, this year we became a competitive festival.

  • We’re taking off in a week

    For the 29th year, DEF – Days of European Film has been offering audiences high-quality, exclusively European films. The main part of the DEF will take place in Prague from 6 to 10 April, in Ostrava from 7 to 10 April and in Brno from 8 to 12 April. Originally a film showcase, this year it is transformed into a competitive festival. “Music, sounds, movements… the programme of this year’s DEF is explicitly musical! Whether it’s Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ original compositions for the nature film Snow Leopard, the cascade of sounds in the directorial debut Phantom by musician Para One, or the modern trap in the rapper’s story Lovely Boy,” says DEF dramaturg Šimon Šafránek on the selection of films, adding: “The festival will open with the Danish comedy Miss Viborg. Marianne Blicher’s debut is a brightly coloured and fiercely unconventional look at a sleepy small town. It’s a stunningly fresh tale of an unexpected friendship.” DEF is returning to cinema screens – and as the visuals suggest, with a phoenix born from the ashes, it will be in full force!

  • DEF TURNED INTO THE COMPETITION FESTIVAL

    Originally a film showcase, this year it is transformed into a competitive festival! The main competition will focus on debuts, and we will also offer a competition section for music films. DEF is all about quality and exclusively European films, confirms DEF dramaturg Šimon Šafránek: “Music, sounds, movements… I see a great emphasis on the musical side of things in the programme. Whether it’s Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s original compositions for the nature film Snow Leopard, the cascade of sounds in the directorial debut Phantom by musician Para One, or the modern trap in the rapper’s tale Lovely Boy.Teenage themes resonate in the free-spirited comedy Miss Viborg, as well as in the breezy drama Youth Topia or the sharp wish for Happy Birthday, Chiaro. There are also plenty of films dealing with mysticism in the programme, from the ufologist’s society in Sacred Soul, to the heroines of Clara Sola and Saint Emma’s to the lighter dimension of worship in the comedy Tralala with the popular Mathieu Amalric. The main part of DEF will take place in Prague from 6 to 10 April, in Ostrava from 7 to 10 April and in Brno from 8 to 12 April. Echoes in
