History and our goals

The Czech Film Center (CFC) was established in 2002 to systematically profile contemporary Czech cinema, mainly abroad. Nowadays, CFC fulfills various tasks connected with Czech film: It is the official representative of the Czech cinema and film industry abroad and the partner of major international film festivals, markets, and co-production platforms, actively participating in the selection process and presentation of Czech films and film projects.

CFC works closely with producers on film development and release strategies. For promising film projects, CFC organizes specialized pitching events and cooperates with international experts and trainers to help filmmakers develop their film stories. 

CFC is an important source of up-to-date information about Czech cinema, new legislation, and funding possibilities in the Czech Republic. CFC owns and maintains unique know-how and contacts, mediates connections between the Czech and foreign film industries, and actively creates networking opportunities for film professionals. The rich publishing activity includes unique regular and occasional publications featuring new films, interesting filmmakers, and current topics on the Czech film scene.
