The Košice-based company AUTO-VALAS returns to the partner circle of the 32nd International Film Festival IFF ART FILM Košice (19 – 25 June 2026) after several years, becoming the festival’s official Automotive Partner. The company will ensure the mobility of guests, jury members and filmmakers throughout the seven festival days.
AUTO-VALAS is a family business with more than 30 years of history. It ranks among the stable and renowned car dealers in Slovakia and currently represents the brands Lexus, Kia, Toyota, BYD and Škoda. “Returning after years to a partner with whom the festival also shares a common history is always special and gratifying for us. AUTO-VALAS knows Košice, knows eastern Slovakia, and knows just how important it is to ensure reliable transport during the demanding festival week,” said festival spokesperson Juraj Čurný.
“ART FILM is an integral part of the cultural life of Košice, and we are delighted that AUTO-VALAS can once again, after several years, take its place among the festival’s partners. The people of Košice already know that supporting exceptional events in our region comes naturally to us. We are all the more pleased that we can contribute to making the festival’s guests feel at ease and comfortable in Košice — also thanks to the vehicles from our portfolio,” said the company’s authorised representative Ing. Štefan Valas.
IFF ART FILM is the oldest and largest international film festival in Slovakia — in 2026 it once again brings the best of contemporary world cinema to Košice. The complete programme and festival cinepasses are available at aff.cinepass.sk.
