Music
What you'll hear
post-hudba
closing concert
Saturday, March 21
Prague-based alternative duo post-hudba consists of Tomáš Havlen (composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer) and Dominik Zezula (composer, lyricist, vocalist). After their previous album My všichni tady a teď, built on catchy choruses and polished electronic production, their latest record Nad prázdnou nocí kroužili sokoli ventures into the murkier waters of post-punk, guitar riffs, and abstract gothic.
Hlavonožec
closing concert
Saturday, March 21
A striking blend of acoustic and electronic music with lyrics that dance on the edge of poetry, spoken word, and wild guttural screaming. Violin, accordion, synth, and guitar came together and started making uncontrollable love — something was born that has only a head and legs.
Shohaiko
boiler room live hardware set
Saturday, March 21
A music project by Štěpán Doležal. A detailed profile will be added soon.
Yungstifi
DJ set
Friday, March 20
Ondřej Riffler's DJ set as Yungstifi will kick off the Friday afterparty in the Kino Družba foyer.

Testimonials
What they say about us
“Mladá kamera Uničov is, for me, one of the most important Czech festivals for emerging filmmakers. It was precisely because our film was presented at this festival that doors opened for us at other festivals. We met a number of inspiring and interesting people here, which I consider one of the greatest benefits of this event.”
Tomáš Riederer
producer of the film The Last Day of Kamil Krofta
“An amazing festival that discovers young talent! Pleasant environment and great facilities.”
Lucka Voborníková
