Said about us 2010

I am so pleased I had the opportunity to attend your "50th anniversary of Zlin International Children and Youth Film Festival". The scope of the Festival this year was truly amazing. Amazing in terms of film screenings and technical quality of the screening halls, the variety of films sections, the mix of old and brand-new films, the perfect illustration of what has been, is and will be the vitality and originality of tcheque cinema for children and youth. Amazing in terms of planning and organisation, given the number of prints and guests coming from all over the world, to handle before, during and after the Festival (in spite of the flood!). Amazing in terms of the warmth and kindness with which each guest has been welcomed and taking care of during its stay. Amazing in terms of its closing ceremony and final reception/party. Truly the whole staff of the Festival could not have done better to celebrate this 50th anniversary. Congratulations and thank you in all sincerity.

The great honor of arriving in Prague and taking the ride along the Czech countryside to Zlin with legendary Director Vojtech Jasny was well worth the long trip. I must admit I was unsure how my film, an American independent picture, would be received in a country with such a rich cinematic history. Having the privilege to screen, "The Perfect Age of Rock 'n' Roll," on the opening night at the grand Velke Kino was one of the most gratifying experiences of my career. The audiences response and appreciation for the film was something I will never forget. The festival was so well organized, so gracious in welcoming me and my film that I am grateful for having had the opportunity to have been a part of the rich 50 year history of this event. I look forward to a long relationship with Zlin and hope to show many more films, at this great event and visit with the many friends I made there, in the future.

I knew beforehand that the best beer in the world is in Zlín, but it came as a pleasant surprise to find out that the best and biggest children film festival is to be found there as well. It is an inspiration and an honor for any filmmaker to get the opportunity to experience the hospitality and the atmosphere of this children film loving city.
