11TH ANNUAL AUSSIE & KIWI FILM FEST
15-20 November 2024
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Since 2014, we have been presenting the contemporary cinema and culture of Australia and New Zealand as part of the Aussie & Kiwi Film Fest and accompanying events. Every year we will present the premieres of contemporary feature films and documentaries, student and short films, as well as the most striking archival images. The festival is organized by the association AKFF, z. s., a group of volunteers who devote themselves to the dramaturgy, management and production of the event in their spare time. The main part of the festival takes place in the Lucerna cinema in Prague, an important part is the non-film program in the form of school screenings, lectures, exhibitions, discussions, tastings and parties.
