13 film sections, of which 3 are competitive and 2 are honorary. 2 Actor’s Missions and 3 Golden Cameras. 143 films screened, including 60 short films and 83 feature films. 38 Slovak films. 4 children’s films. 171 screenings. 8 screening venues, including 1x Kunsthalle, 2x Kulturpark, 2x Kino Úsmev, 1x Kino Veritas, 1x Garden Cinema, and 1x Executioner’s Bastion. 21,759 viewers.
54 accompanying events, including 16 Art Film INDUSTRY.
These are the numbers you may have already noticed in the context of the 30th edition of the MFF Art Film Košice 2024. There are still two more we would like to draw attention to. This year’s festival was prepared by a total of 179 people, including 44 volunteers. “Each person contributed their unique effort and dedication to the success of this jubilee edition. They were a source of inspiration with their determination, ability to handle challenging tasks with amazing professionalism and enthusiasm. Their hard work, dedication, and tireless commitment ensured the smooth running of the event and received positive feedback from both visitors and film industry professionals. Without this collaboration, we would not have achieved the high standard that the festival deserves,” thanked the project manager Lucia Hanúsek on behalf of festival producer Ján Kováčik and artistic director Martin Palúch.
