“During 31st of the festival, IFF ART FILM has decided to introduce a new honorary tribute named the Milan Lasica Award. It is an award dedicated to outstanding legends of Slovak film acting in memoriam. It is an extension of the tradition of presenting the Festival President’s Award, which was awarded during his lifetime at the IFF ART FILM by our only president, the unforgettable Milan Lasica. It is an honour and a commitment for us to continue in this legacy, and the Milan Lasica Award will be a worthy reminder not only of our late president, but also an opportunity to remember the actors whom we have not yet had time to recognise during their lifetime at the festival because they have passed into actors’ heaven,” says Martin Palúch, the festival’s art director.
