Event: 41st Annual Academia Film Olomouc International Film Festival
(AFO)
Location: Olomouc
Date: October 2006
Assessment: This film festival has a rich history and managed to achieve record levels of interest in 2006 due to quality promotional work and an attractive list of guests and documentary films. Over twelve thousand visitors attended the festival over five days, along with 114 foreign and Czech accredited filmmakers. The AFO also attracted a large number of journalists who filed over three hundred separate contributions to regional and national publications. In addition to the many film experiences, one of the main highlights was Suzanne Vega sending her birthday greetings live via satellite to ex-president Václav from the festival, or her special one-off concert in conjunction with the festival.
