VISEGRAD films selected at FIPADOC

Over eight days, FIPADOC showcases a selection of outstanding documentary films. In 2025, we showed more than 150 films to more than 44.000 spectators (an increase of almost 30% compared to 2024), among which 16 films were from VISEGRAD, with titles such as MRS PRESIDENT (Slovakia/Czechia, European Stories selection), FOREST (Poland, European Stories selection), HAPPINESS TO ALL (Czechia, International competition) or CONFESSION (Slovakia, New talent selection) which won the Young Creation Award. Our ambition is to offer our audience a dynamic and memorable experience in theatres. Therefore, we always invite directors of the selected films to share Q&A sessions with the public. Invitation of directors include transportation, accommodation and a professional accreditation (which grants access to the whole Industry program and the whole festival). https://www.fipadoc.com/en/selections

CEE Animation Experience – webinar 1

Inside the VFX Pipeline Integrating CG Animation from Start to FinishThe keynote will present the complete process of creating visual effects that include animated CG elements, from pre-production to finalizing the shot, with a focus on practical workflows and collaboration between different departments. We will go through the roles of the VFX supervisor and producer, working on the breakdown, storyboard, and previs, and how to make the right decisions between physical and digital elements already in the pre-production stage. In post-production, we will examine postvis, the key role of the VFX editor, and especially the integration of animation into visual effects: the workflow connection to layout, assets, rigging, animation, FX, lighting, and final compositing. The lecture will conclude with an overview of project management, approval processes, and finally the current possibilities and limitations of using AI in VFX. https://ceeanimation.eu/programme/inside-the-vfx-pipeline-integrating-cg-animation-from-start-to-finish/

V4 Winter Games Emil Open 2026 – accompanying program

Through the accompanying program, we want to make the Games more interesting and also to promote sports for people with disabilities and raise awareness about their everyday life. As every year, it is an opportunity for visitors to try out para sports. The opening ceremony will include a parade of flag bearers, introduction of sports teams or local sports clubs and non-profit organisations. There will also be a Benefit show with a popular Czech presenter and his guests. For the athletes, we have prepared an opportunity to compete with the champions. It will be a unique opportunity for them to meet their idols and learn from their experience. The closing ceremony is an opportunity for networking and preparing further cooperation. It is intended for athletes, tournament partners, team representatives or municipal representatives and it includes the evaluation of the Games and the awarding of prizes to the best athletes. In cooperation with the NPO Společnost Podané ruce, o.p.s., we have prepared an educational workshop focused on mental health care and risk behavior prevention among young people. We would also like to include a workshop on environmental approaches together with the Ministry of the Environment. Our goal is that the participants also take away cultural experiences and have the opportunity to socialise, so we prepare for them cultural activities (trips, excursions, entrances to museums, etc.).
