Purchasing tickets without accreditation
At the festival, you’ll find two types of film screenings: those that require a reservation and those that do not, which you can attend with a special ticket. Some offscreen events require a reservation, whilst others are open to everyone.
What is a Catch-Up screening?
Catch-Up screening are selected film screenings for which it will not be possible to make a reservation through the reservation system. You will only be able to use special tickets for these screenings. A package of 3 tickets will be available for purchase at our Reservation and Information desk on Masaryk Square for 450 CZK, you can buy one ticket for 250 CZK. You can use this ticket for any screening marked in the program as Catch-Up screening. It will not be available for other screenings. The ticket does not guarantee a seat in the hall. The regular ticket with reservation will not be valid for these screenings. Entrance to the hall will be granted both on the basis of a ticket and with a valid accreditation, until the capacity of the hall is reached.

Screenings or offscreen events requiring a reservation
If you are planning to attend a screening or an offscreen event (e.g. the Inspiration Forum, the Ethics in Documentary Filmmaking conference, a theatre performance or Czech Radio audioscene), which requires a reservation, you can purchase a ticket on the dedicated website or at the Reservation and Information desk on Masaryk Square. The ticket price for a screening or offscreen programme is 250 CZK. The exception is the theatre performance K Sobě, for which tickets cost just 200 CZK. Reservation for the Czech Radio audioscene programme is free of charge.

Simply select the number of tickets and add them to your basket. After payment, you’ll receive an email with your tickets in PDF format, which you’ll then show at the entrance to the screening or off-screen event.
