The 25th year of the new millennium is slowly coming to an end, but you will still be able to commemorate it in January 2026 at a total of five screenings of the 13th annual festival Echoes  – at the Sokol Křivoklát cinema on January 2 (from 5:00 p.m. „Snake Poison“ and 7:00 p.m. „Witness for the Prosecution“), at the Art Cinema in Brno on January 6 (from 8:30 p.m. „Witness for the Prosecution“) and at the Boskovice Cinema on January 8 (from 7:00 p.m. „Witness for the Prosecution“) and January 18 (at 7:00 p.m. „The People Against.

The 14th edition of the NFF will take place from August 19 to 22, 2026, at the castle and in the foothills of Český Šternberk, where the festival is returning as part of the previously announced rotation between two castles.

From January 6, it will be possible to contribute to its preparations with a donation of any amount, for which it will be possible to obtain one of the „generous“ or basic festival accreditations in advance. The sale of basic accreditations through the festival’s reservation system will then begin on April 1, 2026.

We look forward to seeing you for the fifth time on the „starry mountain“ :)!

Miss the festival atmosphere already, a week after the 13th edition ended? If so, you can remember it by watching tomorrow’s (8.9.) report on TV Nova in „Weekend“, from 22:45. Hello to all the friends of Noir Film Festival!

Saturday was the last day of this year’s Noir Film Festival. The program was busy – we screened for example two iconic classics, Psycho and The Cremator, there was a discussion with an investigator of the 1st department of criminal police, the film People against O’Hara had its Czech premiere in the evening and closing ceremony happened in the presence of for example Daniela Kolářová and Marek Vašut.

The main partners of the 13th edition of Noir Film Festival were Central Bohemia and innogy. The main media partner was Nova Cinema.

Thank you very much for supporting this year’s edition of the festival!

The third day went by in the spirit of memory. Together we remembered the amazing Hana Maciuchová, first with the screening of Death in the Girardin Garden and then with guests at an evening concert, where Dáša Zázvůrková, Martina Preissová and Hana Holišová sang a song composed specifically for her.

The evening screening of The Dark Mirror was interrupted by rain, but before that happened, the lightning in the distance and the castle bats circling above the heads of the audience created an unforgettable atmosphere!
