12th edition of the festival will take place from 29/9 to 4/10 2023 in Prague and several other Czech and Slovakian cities.
As usual the festival will offer our audience a selection of contemporary films related to the topic of architecture and urbanism. It will expand with new projection spaces and increase the number of projections. There will also be discussions with the filmmakers and another special accompanying program.
This year’s central theme is Construction. The festival will pay tribute to technical buildings, engineering and innovation.
We have prepared a three-day program focused on Slovak architecture in cooperation with the Center for Architecture and Urban Planning and KineDok CZ. The festival will take place from December 9 to 11.
As part of the screening, we will present the successful documentary series Icons dedicated to the authors of unique Slovak post-war architecture. Three blocks of screenings will be complemented by discussions with the filmmakers and authors of the entire project. The series will be completed by the documentary Lines.
The accompanying program will offer discussions with creators, the Stroon music event on Friday will be presented by Temple Timbre Embers or the Land of Creativity workshop for children.
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the founder of Czech modernism, Jan Kotěra, the KRUH Association created a series of short films that represent not only selected buildings of this architect, but above all their inhabitants.
Films can be found on our Youtube channel.
One of the short films is Domov od Kotěry, Greta Stocklassa’s film about visiting the villa in Černošice accompanied by the lyrics of the poet Petr Borkovec – a resident of this building.
