The last day of the festival will offer a few last chances to catch standout films. An extra screening of the powerful Ukrainian war documentary 2000 Metres to Andriivka – currently leading the Audience Award vote – will take place at 9:00 p.m. in the Small Hall. The KVIFF will be closed by its famous midnight screenings – the cult horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Čas Cinema) and the delightfully absurd, gag-filled comedy Dangerous Animals (Small Hall). You can also end the festival in epic fashion with a rare screening of the 9-hour opus Shoah, starting at 2:15 p.m. at Čas Cinema.
KVIFF.TV Park will start its last day with the Actors with Actors programme, this time hosted by the duo Denisa Barešová and Zuzana Mauréry at 11:00 a.m. At 12:00 noon, Šimon Holý and Hana Trojánková Biriczová will welcome filmmaker Adina Šulcová in their pop culture show Poprask (Reflex magazine podcast). Afterwards, at 1:00 p.m. in Prostor KVIFF X, actor Jakub Žáček will sit down for an interview, followed at 2:00 p.m. by comedian Arnošt Frauenberg, performing live stand-up as part of KVIFF Comedy LIVE.
At 3:00 p.m. the winners of the non-statutory jury awards will be announced. The Closing Ceremony will be broadcast live from the Grand Hall at 8:05 p.m. on ČT1, with red carpet arrivals starting at 6:00 p.m. on KVIFF.TV. The evening’s highlight will be the presentation of the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema to legendary actor Stellan Skarsgård.
Thank you for your passion, energy, and support throughout the festival. We can’t wait to see you again next year!
