Film Festival

One of the biggest events of the Czech and Slovak Association of Western Australia is the Perth Film Festival.

Film Festival Website

Visitors to our annual festival can get acquainted with the contemporary as well as historical cinematography of Czech and Slovak production.

In 2014 our associates from Sydney and Melbourne approached our association with a proposal to organize a joint Czech and Slovak film festival. We hesitated, because in Western Australia the Czech and Slovak communities are not as large as in New South Wales and Victoria. We were afraid of little interest, so the 2014 film year was without Perth. The history of the Western Australia Film Festival began in 2015.

The date of this year’s Film Festival:  November 2024 

The program will be provided closer to the date
