The Golden Prague Festival continues to attract filmmakers from around the globe. Right now, our five-member international jury is diving into the films and selecting their first-round favorites. And there’s a lot to choose from! What can the numbers tell us? Get ready for a hearty dose of statistics that might just surprise you.
89 films from around the world!
This year’s competition includes 84 films: the most represented category is Documentary (34 films), closely followed by Recordings of Performing Arts (26) and Concerts (24). On top of that, we’ve got 5 more films out of competition — because there’s no such thing as too many good films.
From half an hour to four hours – that’s our film range.
The shortest film, Gestures from Finland, runs just 29 minutes, while the longest, Richard Wagner: The Ring of the Nibelung – Siegfried from Germany, clocks in at a whopping 250 minutes. On average, each film is about an hour and a half long. To watch all the competition entries, you’d need 7,542 minutes. That’s over 125 hours!
How far to Prague?
The longest journey was made by a film from Japan: more than 8,900 kilometers away! In total, 48 productions from 12 countries submitted their work.
These numbers say it all: Golden Prague is more than just a festival, it’s an international magnet for everyone who loves the dance, music and film. This year is shaping up to be another unforgettable one!
