    PLZEN: Eight films are vying in the Feature and Animated Films Competition of the 34th edition of Finale Plzen, which will wrap on 29 September 2021.

    The festival is also organising competitions for documentaries, serial TV and internet productions, and TV and internet film & miniseries, as well as student short films.

    Various sidebar sections, including previews and premieres of feature and documentary films, as well as a focus on German cinema, are also in the programme.

    As it was announced at the end of March 2021, the 2021 edition was moved from its traditional April dates to 24-29 September 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
