Testimonials

What filmmakers and visitors say about Mladá kamera Uničov festival.

“Mladá kamera Uničov is, for me, one of the most important Czech festivals for emerging filmmakers. It was precisely because our film was presented at this festival that doors opened for us at other festivals. We met a number of inspiring and interesting people here, which I consider one of the greatest benefits of this event.”

“Cliché as it may sound, Mladá kamera is a matter of the heart for me. If it weren't for Mladá kamera, I wouldn't be making videos for a living, wouldn't have made a few documentaries, and certainly wouldn't be working as a cinema manager or have met so many great colleagues and friends. Thank you, Mladá kamera.”
