    BRATISLAVA: Thirty Slovak films (11 features, 13 documentaries and six animated films) will be screened at the 10th edition of the Slovak Film Week, the annual showcase of domestic titles, which is taking place in Bratislava 15 - 21 April 2024. 

    This year´s Slovak Film Week will present all the films submitted to the Sun in a Net awards (except for TV films or miniseries), and it will be held on a date before the award ceremony. The organisers decided to allow viewers to get an overview of the films that not only made it to the list of nominated titles, but also applied for awards.

    The Slovak Film Week is also an important platform for public discussions and reflection on Slovak film production. Panel discussions on documentaries, feature and animated films, and other accompanying programmes will be part of the showcase.

    The event returns this year to the Lumière Cinema, which reopened in February 2024 after a fire in 2022.
