Zlín Film Festival Spends Its Money Well

    In 2018 the Filmtalent Zlín Foundation supported 22 film projects to the tune of over € 60.000 (CZK 1.549 million).

    The Zlín Film Clapperboard Salon is where art lovers and cinephiles meet. For the 22nd consecutive time, this year again Film Clapperboards painted by renown, loyal artists will be sold in an auction on 26 May 2019 during the Zlín Film Festival. Through the FILMTALENT ZLÍN Foundation this money will be re-invested to provide a support to Czech and Slovak young start-ups in the field of cinema, student filmmakers and other film-related projects in a social or educational context.
