14 Independent Films to Shine at the 6th Prague Film Awards

The 6th Prague Film Awards will take place on the 1st of February at the Kino Svฤ›tozor.

Blending two short film programs and one feature film, this yearโ€™s edition brings 14 independent films.

Under the theme โ€˜Stories on the edge of belongingโ€™ the 2025 Prague Film Awards program spans genres and styles, presenting powerful narratives of alienation, resilience, and hope. Stories that delve into the lives of individuals and communities navigating the spaces between connection and isolation, identity and displacement, arrival and departure.

The Prague Film Awards 2025 starts with two short film programs and finishes with the internationally acclaimed feature film โ€˜Bionicoโ€™s Bachataโ€™, by the Dominican filmmaker Yoel Morales. The film tells the story of Bionico, a hopeless romantic addicted to crack, who wants to marry La Flaca, his fiancรฉe but must find a ring, a job, and a house, and stay clean by the time she is out of the rehabilitation centre.

With the notion of belonging in the epicentre, the short film programs blend films of various themes and aesthetics.

David Vuโ€™s โ€˜Pre-Artistโ€™, explores the artistic struggles and the process of self-discovery, โ€˜Pragueโ€™s Girlโ€™ by Andree Lucini tells a love story that blossomed in Prague during the Russian occupation started in 1968 while Daniel Pathโ€™s FUCK THIS SHIT, LOVE ME! is about navigating the modern dating world.

Each of the 13 independent short films challenges us to rethink the meaning of home, connection, and identity in a world in flux.

The Prague Film Awards takes pride in boasting a diverse and thought-provoking program of films by rising talents of various backgrounds from the four corners of the earth.
