This year Czech films and co-productions made it to the competition and other official sections of the Berlinale International Film Festival, which is taking place from February 5th to 15th, 2015. Nine new Czech films will have screening at the film market. Czech film will be represented in Berlin by the Czech Film Center.
Czech cinema will once again be represented in Berlinale's prestigious Panorama section for the first time in five years. One of the 18 documentaries that will be shown in this section will be Daniel's World from director Veronika Lišková.
Films in which the Czech Republic is, to a greater or lesser extent, a co-producer have also seen success. The Slovak/Czech film Koza, the feature film debut of Ivan Ostrochovský, was selected for the Forum section and the Romanian/Bulgarian/Czech co-production Aferim! from the Romanian director Radu Jude made it to this year's main competition in Berlinale.
The Czech Film Center will once again represent Czech film in Berlin. It can be found at the European film market in a stand entitled Central European Cinema (no. 142), which it shares with Slovakia and Slovenia. The stand serves as an information and coordination centre for all foreign parties interested in Czech film.
The detailed information and the screening schedule of the films can be found on www.filmcenter.cz/berlinale2015
