Prague International Film Awards is Film Festival with live screenings in Prague, in Czech Republic. Our mission and goal is to discover and promote talented filmmakers from all over the world and present their work to public and distributors.

The first year was held under the name Prague International Monthly Film Festival (PIMFF), which also qualified for IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0019241/2021/1/).

During the first year, we registered more than 2,000 projects, some of which premiered at the Festival de Cannes, the Sundance Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival or have been awarded and nominated for ACADEMY AWARDS, GOLDEN GLOBES, and BAFTA-winning actors and directors, but most of all, hundreds of films and scripts.

The best czech films and international selected selection of films will be screened in Kino Pilotu, Prague and the end of the third year will premiere the best films of the entire year on April 21, 2023 in Kino Pilotu, Prague.

During the Notification Day, we will let you know if you will be nominated for the event itself, which will take place at the Kino Pilotu Prague, April 21, 2023.

Prague is a beautiful city with a wonderful culture and amazing nightlife. During the festival, you can take a picture behind our festival wall, walk on the red carpet or provide an interview for our YouTube channel.
