Films

All the films are presented with Czech subtitles and are also English-friendly. The only exceptions are screenings marked with the R pictogram, which are only screened with Czech audio without subtitles. Eight immersive films are in English, whilst the films 21-22 China and Comfortless feature no dialogue, making them accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing.

From May 2024 onwards, we will gradually be releasing the best films from this year's edition as well as the best from previous editions on the One World Online (JSO) platform (www.jedensvetonline.cz).
