FIPRESCI is back to Slovakia in collaboration with the oldest country’s festival Art Film Fest Košice.

As a tribute to the history, a screening of the past FIPRESCI winner The Garden (Záhrada) by Martin Šulík took place.

Festival organized a panel discussion on film criticism with FIPRESCI jury members and federation’s Vice President Elena Rubashevska. The talk can be watched on the link.

FIPRESCI returns to the Mar Del Plata International Film Festival! FIPRESCI’s history with the festival dates back to its 1996 revival, following a 26-year pause caused by political turmoil in Argentina. Discover more on the link.

For its sensitivity and care in addressing a subject that has caused pain to many, for respecting the perspective of childhood in a deeply adult theme, grounding it in nature and love within a space distant from society, a profoundly respectful narrative immersed in a context where we witness the resurgence of oppression, film critics awarded The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo by Diego Céspedes at Brussels International Film Festival.

On July 3, 2025, during the 42nd Filmfest Munchen, the international film critics’ community will pay homage to the FIPRESCI General Secretary of 38 years Klaus Eder. After the laudation, Klaus Eder will moderate a discussion with the German film director Jan-Ole Gerster, preceding the screening of his FIPRESCI-awarded film Lara (film critics’ prize in 2019, Munich).
