The Abakus Foundation Audience Award for Exceptional Debate was awarded to Jan Beneš and Magdalena Dušková
An integral part of the festival since its inception, post-screening debates in various formats have allowed the audience to engage in meaningful discussions. This year, attendees were once again given the opportunity to vote for the exceptional debate that most enriched their experience and complemented the film. After each debate, attendees could cast their vote on tablets on their way out, rating the debate on a scale of one to five stars. The award was supported by the Abakus Foundation.
The Abakus Foundation Audience Award for Exceptional Debate was presented to the expert post-screening debate following the film Zurawski v Texas, held on March 14th, 2025, at the Cinema Hall in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The debate featured Americanist Jan Beneš, with Magdalena Dušková moderating.
The award was received by Pavel Šplíchal, editor of Deník Alarm, from the hands of Libuše Tomolová, director of the Abakus foundation.
