The programme structure remains as planned in 2020. Apart from the competition section audiences can enjoy the Limitless, Film+, Planet Dark, Kino-Ikon+ and The Mirror of the Past sections, Children's Film Cabinet and also the transformed Slovakia – a Country of Film section, which will be the non-competing part of the In the Heart of Europe section.
The festival will also screen documentaries about Agnès Varda and Ennio Morricone, Occupation by Michal Nohejl, produced by Unit and Sofa, Czech Television and PFX (which has 13 Czech Lion nominations), and fans of gore and the bizarre will ghoulishly love the Planet Dark section. IFF Febiofest will also present the Spanish surreal film Advantages of Travelling by Train by Aritz Moreno, which was nominated in the Best Comedy category at the European Film Awards.
The Industry Programme – Works in Progress, a presentation of new Slovak film projects, will remain hybrid – in cinemas and also live-streamed for representatives of world festivals and sales agents.
The festival is organised by the Association of Slovak Film Clubs, co-organised by the Slovak Film Institute and supported by the Slovak Audiovisual Fund.
