Today we launched the sale of the remaining „generous accreditations“ (i.e., Partner, Sponsor, and Noir passes) for the 14th edition of the NFF, which have not yet been provided to festival donors as compensation for their donations…

*The number of these accreditations is limited again this year so that we can guarantee their holders the benefits associated with them. Partner, Sponsor, and Noir passes do not need to be reserved in advance by email; they are reserved automatically by payment to the special account for the Noir Film Festival (107-2322580297/0100, IBAN: CZ7501000001072322580297, SWIFT code: KOMBCZPPXXX),  variable symbol: year of birth, message for recipient: last name + email address. After payment for these accreditations has been received, applicants/payers will receive a booking confirmation by email from the address below.

**Any questions regarding all types of accreditation for the upcoming year can be sent from February 1 to the following email address: vstupenky/at/noirfilmfestival.cz.

Thank you for supporting the festival in this way :)!

A little window into what November’s Echoes of the 13th annual festival in the small hall of the Lucerna Cinema were like :).

Thank you to everyone who came to see at least one of the five selected films, and we look forward to seeing you again for the 14th time in August at Český Šternberk!

*Of course, we would also like to thank the partners of the Prague Echoes of the Festival, which were innogy, Nova Cinema, and BRAVA machining. Thank you!

Dear Noir Film Festival supporters,
Thank you very much for your financial donation(s) to the festival in 2025.
If your financial situation allows, please continue to support us. Given the ever-increasing costs of organizing our festival, we will need your affection and support in 2026 as well…

*From January 6, 2026, you can contribute to the usual festival account (107-2322580297/0100, IBAN: CZ7501000001072322580297, SWIFT code: KOMBCZPPXXX) with a donation of any amount, for which the festival will again offer you corresponding benefits/ benefits related to the upcoming 14th edition, which, as most of you already know, will take place from Wednesday, August 19 to Saturday, August 22, 2026, at Český Šternberk Castle, where the festival is returning after a year in Křivoklát as part of the rotation between the two castles. If you decide to contribute in this way, please indicate in the message to the recipient that it is a „donation to the 14th NFF“ or just „donation to the NFF“ and your first and last name.

**Starting February 16, it will be possible to purchase one or more of the usual 50 „generous accreditations“ (Partner Pass /8x/, Sponsor Pass /17x/ or Noir Pass /25x/), but in return for your donation, we can offer you one of these accreditations right now.
The prices of the „Sponsor“ (215 EUR) and „Partner Pass“ /964 EUR/ remain the same as in 2025, but we have taken the liberty of increasing the price of the „Noir Pass“ to 130 EUR for this year’s edition, also in view of the increased future price of individual tickets for film screenings included in this accreditation.
As a benefit for your donation, you can also obtain a Full Festival or Weekend Pass or Passes in advance.

***From 2024, you also have the option of dividing your donation to the festival into regular monthly contributions ranging from 5 EUR to 103 EUR. In this case, however, it is necessary to state in the message for the recipient that it is a „regular donation to the NFF“ and to include your first and last name.

****Finally, I would like to add some information about the establishment of the „Film Noir Club 2013“ (hereinafter referred to as „FNC“), which was founded in December last year in Český Šternberk. Film Noir Club 2013 is a premium community of fans of the Noir Film Festival and/or the film noir genre. The aim of this community is to bring its members closer together during the NFF, as well as outside the festival itself, at a minimum of three other annual weekend events focused on film noir. During the festival, FNC members will have access to a separate movie theater with a capacity of 25-30 seats.
For more information about FNC, including club membership applications, visit https://www.noirfilmfestival.cz/cz/film-noir-klub-2013/.

Thank you very much for your support of the 14th edition, and we look forward to seeing you at Český Šternberk!

Vítek Grigartzik,
on behalf of the 2026 festival team

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. O’Hara“).

So don’t miss your last chance to „get a taste of one of this year’s festival films“; all three are definitely worth seeing… Have a great end of the year :)!

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“ :)!
