GiF Prague

Girls in Film Prague was established in 2017 by local producers and friends Julie Žáčková and Dagmar Sedláčková. We joined the GiF network as its first branch after London, as we felt very connected to the core values that it represents - in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, it is mainly to provide inspiration for young women who are looking into starting a career in film. We have organised numerous panel talks, screenings, networking events and also our own film festival and we worked with established institutions like the Czech Film Fund, Karlovy Vary film festival, Febio Fest or iShorts. In 2020, we started the first local mentoring program where we partner with professional filmmakers and connect them with women who aspire to kickstart their own film careers.
