The Special Mention went to the Slovak short film The Birth of a Woman / Zrodenie ženy directed by Soňa Nôtová.
More than 50 films from around the world were divided into multiple programme sections. Feature films were screened in sections Contemporary Queer Film, Classics, Hot Czech-Slovakia, FFi for Children, as well as the special section Queer Hong Kong dedicated to Asian audiovisual production.
The five short film strands, which in addition to foreign films also included a section of Slovak premieres, became a competition section for the first time.
The non-competitive section of short films was organised in cooperation with the Fest Anča International Animation Festival: FFi x Fest Anča: Queer Animation.
