Overview
JUNIORFEST is an international film festival for children and young audiences held in the Pilsen Region, including Přeštice, and has run regularly since 2008. It is notable as one of the Czech Republic’s major youth-focused festivals, presenting a competitive program of fiction and animated films, plus documentaries and selected TV series in non-competitive sections, alongside workshops and industry events. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its large multi-city scale, broad international program, and role in showcasing new films for children and teens to both public and professional audiences.
