    PIEŠŤANY: Ten films have been selected for Meeting Point Europe, the main competition of the 14th Cinematik International Film Festival, which will take place in the spa city of Piešťany from 10 to 15 September 2019.

    The selection of the main competition, Meeting Point Europe, represents the best that the European cinematography has produced over the past year, according to the vote of 17 film critics from 17 European countries. The section was made under the auspices of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI).

    Six fresh documentaries will compete in the second competitive section of the festival, Cinematik.doc - Slovak Documentary Competition.

    Richard Linklater’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette will open the festival. A focus on the Portuguese cinema is also on the menu, with Portuguese filmmaker João Pedro Rodrigues among the guests.
