Stars of the silver screen and films from the world’s most prestigious festivals will draw crowds to the 22nd annual Art Film Fest, held from 21 to 27 June 2014 in Trenčianske Teplice and Trenčín.
As in previous years, Art Film Fest is honouring two cinematic icons for their extraordinary contributions to film acting with the Actor’s Mission Award. The award’s latest laureates will each personally place a bronze plaque bearing their own name in Festival Park. The first, right at the festival’s start, is one of Czech cinema’s most familiar faces—Ivan Trojan. And at the festival’s close, Trenčianske Teplice will welcome legendary diva Claudia Cardinale.
This year Art Film Fest’s Golden Camera will go to two film professionals for their major contributions to cinema: at the opening ceremony, one of Hungary’s most successful directors—István Szabó—will receive the award. During the closing ceremony, a second Golden Camera will be presented to a legend of Slovak screenwriting, president of the Slovak Film and Television Academy Ondrej Šulaj.
This year’s film programme will be divided into 12 sections, including tributes to our award winners.
11 films in the International Competition of Feature Films and 35 films in the Competition of Short Films will vie for Art Film Fest’s top prizes: the Blue Angels. Popular sections such as Around the World, European Corner, Slovak Season, Love and Anarchy, Eastern Promises and Late Night Show will feature fresh titles, while the brand-new sections Focus: Alan Clarke and Topic: War and Film await audiences as well.
Visitors will even be treated to an abundant variety of musical performances. The festival café in Trenčianske Teplice will feature live music every evening, hosted as always by versatile musician Oskar Rózsa, with concerts by Slovak acts Chiki liki tu-a, Walter Schnitzelsson, DJ Vec and Martin Valihora, DOLEDOLE with Zdenka Predná, and Katarzia a jej frajeri. Films will be screened at Trenčianske Teplice’s Prameň Cinema (Kino Prameň) and Spa Hall (Kúpeľná dvorana), and at Trenčín’s Cinemax, RTVS ArtKino Metro and ODA Festival Cinema—the Garrison Club. ____________________________________________________________
