The 31st annual IFF Art Film Košice took place from June 20 to 27, showcasing 130 films from around the world. As we mentioned in the first part of our report, the festival draws film lovers from far and wide—not only for its international lineup, but also for its vibrant cultural atmosphere.

But what truly sets Art Film apart isn’t just the diversity of its screenings. It’s the platform it offers: a rare opportunity for Slovak artists of all disciplines to present their work alongside some of the world’s most acclaimed filmmakers. It’s a one-of-a-kind event—unmatched anywhere else in Slovakia.

In this episode, we’ll be speaking with some of these Slovak creators. From red carpet premieres and autograph sessions to quiet, thoughtful conversations in the park, we’ll show you how Art Film Košice is much more than just movies.
