The two festival days at Cinema Kotva in České Budějovice became one of the most visited parts of this year’s edition. The programme offered screenings for schools, free afternoon screenings for the public, and an outstanding evening event.
School screenings attracted over 200 students per block, filling the cinema to capacity. The free afternoon programme drew large audiences from the general public, exceeding the venue’s seating limits.
The highlight of the event was the Czech cinema premiere of Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, provided to the festival by National Geographic. This was followed by a powerful discussion, “Steve Lichtag and the Shark Men,” featuring Steve Lichtag, Walter Bernardis, Richard Jaroňek and Jindřich Soukal.
Cinema Kotva once again confirmed its role as a key festival venue in České Budějovice.
