We invite all senior viewers to special festival screenings with discounted admission. From this year’s programme we have selected three remarkable titles.
Milost, screening at Kino Světozor on 13 April at 15:00, is an intimate and deeply human drama about forgiveness, dignity and the quiet strength people discover when life tests them the most. A film that relies on strong performances and a calm, reflective storytelling style.
Mládí, also directed by the Oscar-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, will be screened at Bio Central (date to be announced). This visually stunning and gently ironic meditation on aging, memory and friendship unfolds in Sorrentino’s unmistakable style – elegant images, measured tempo and moments of subtle humor.
Julian, screening at Edison Filmhub on 13 April at 14:00, is a sensitive portrait of childhood seen through the eyes of a young boy navigating the tensions of the adult world. With its restrained storytelling and emotional precision, the film builds a powerful impact from everyday moments.
Come and enjoy outstanding European cinema along with the unique atmosphere of the festival.
