The winter solstice event will take place at the Aero Kino in Prague from 6 p.m. until midnight. A 145-minute segment of films will be screened twice.   

“We have been involved with short films since 2010, and so the idea for a day of short films intrigued me immediately. It is another opportunity to make this genre available to viewers and to get it into cinemas outside of film festivals,” Markéta Šantrochová of the Czech Film Center said.

Four 40-minute blocks of films will consist of a selection of international films, including five animated Czech films. The complete programme is available at www.filmcenter.cz/shortfilmday.
