FNE will profile the nine competition films during the festival, which runs through April 24.

The documentary competition, which includes both feature length and short films, is likely to attract strong attention with a line-up of several films that have already received strong international attention.

A special section will place the spotlight on the prototypical Velvet Generation director Saša Gedeon, former Karlovy Vary director Antonín Moskalyk, and experimental director Karel Vachek. Films from the post-Prague Spring 1970 receive a special focus, and tributes are planned for actor Petr Čepek and director Drahomíra Vihanová, as well as a centennial tribute toKarel Zeman.
