About the Festival.

Film Renaissance Slavonice is an international film festival set in the unique environment of Renaissance Slavonice on the Czech-Austrian border. Every August, for several days, the historic town becomes a meeting place for filmmakers, critics, students and audiences connected by an interest in contemporary cinema and the shared experience of watching films together.

The festival presents a carefully curated selection of Czech, Austrian and international films, premieres and previews, distinctive authorial works, student films and tributes to important film personalities. Discussions with filmmakers, masterclasses, workshops, an industry programme and accompanying cultural events are an essential part of the programme, expanding the film experience with new contexts and perspectives.
