"I feel honoured, so the pleasure is all mine,"

reacted Pavel Nový to the news of the award, adding that he is definitely not finished with his work for children:

"After all, I should be making another children's film this summer in which I will be a mysterious figure at the beginning."

The prizes will be awarded during the closing gala evening on Wednesday, June 7. The second Golden Slipper from the festival president will be presented to actress and film representative

Zlata Adamovská, who has also starred in a number of films for young people and in fairy tales such as The Prince and the Evening Star, Hell with the Princess, The Christmas Star, The Crown Prince, and more. Zlata Adamovská reacted to the organizers' decision with slight embarrassment.

“I'm not sure I deserve such an award. But at the same time I was of course delighted that it would be at the much-loved festival in Zlín."
