Togehter with Goethe-Institut Taschkent we present the 6. edition of „SHUM BOLA“. It’s the only film festival for children and young audiences in Central Asia.

At the beginning of February we had to say goodbye to one of the most important pioneers of the Czech fairy tale film, Václav Vorlíček. It makes me sad, but I am full of wonderful memories. He remains a great director and a dear friend.

Tomorrow the 69^th Berlin International Film Festival begins. SCHLINGEL, the Chemnitz-based International Film Festival for Children and Young Audiences, will also be there to watch films for this year's festival edition, initiate new projects and hold talks with international partners and filmmakers.
