BRATISLAVA: The traditional Slovak Film Week will squeeze this year into the Slovak Film Day, which will take place on 12 May 2026 at Kino Lumiere in Bratislava.
The focus will be on panel discussions and reflection on Slovak film production, as well as on screenings of feature films, documentary, animated films, and short films.
Five Slovak long films (one feature film, two documentaries and two animated films), as well as five short films will be screened. All them were nominated for the Sun in the Net awards, except for the long animated film Dukla and the short documentary Seablindness (winner of Febiofest’s main award).
The screenings will be available every day between 11 and 15 May in Kino Lumiere in Bratislava except Tuesday 12 May, when panel discussions will be happening.
The event will wrap with a discussion on exceptional debuts by the latest generation of filmmakers.
Eight of these Slovak films are available on the VOD platform DaFilms.sk, viewers can watch them until 17 May.
