The Prague International Film Festival (Template:Langx), also known as Febiofest, was a film festival in the Czech Republic. It presented a wide spectrum of contemporary and retrospective examples of high-quality film including alternative, film-school and amateur works to a diverse viewing public.[2][3][4][5][6]

History

The festival was founded in December 1993 in Prague by movie and television company Febiofest. The main personalities of the foundation were Fero Fenič and Pavel Melounek. Originally taking place in one city (Prague) in two small theaters, the event gradually grew (in just ten years) into more than 140,000 viewers in two countries, 12 cities and nearly 43 theaters. In 2005 the festival presented 336 films from 65 countries.[7] The main part of festival was still held in Prague in 2017, but when the festival in Prague ended, some films were shown in other cities.[8] It was announced on 10 March 2020 that the 2020 edition would be cancelled because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[9] Fero Fenič announced in 2022 that he was looking for a new owner, and that the festival would not be held in 2023.[10] In November 2023, Fenič filed for bankruptcy.[11]
