Aussie & Kiwi Film Fest 2026

The Best of Down Under Cinema — 13th Edition in Prague!

Pack your bags for a cinematic journey to the Southern Hemisphere without ever leaving Prague. The 13th Aussie & Kiwi Film Fest returns from 6 to 12 November 2026, bringing the finest contemporary Australian and New Zealand cinema to three iconic Prague screens: Lucerna Cinema, Edison Filmhub, and Ponrepo Cinema. Now in its thirteenth year, this beloved festival has grown from a three-film debut in 2014 into a full week-long celebration of South Pacific storytelling, culture, and creativity.

Far more than surf, beaches, and crocodiles, the programme digs deep into the multicultural identities of Australia and New Zealand — nations with rich Indigenous traditions, complex histories, and a vibrant contemporary arts scene. Every screening is preceded by a short film, and the selection spans contemporary feature films, documentaries, student productions, and archival gems. The festival is run entirely by volunteers passionate about bringing these two cultures closer to Czech audiences, and all films are shown in English with Czech subtitles.

Beyond the big screen, the festival offers an exciting accompanying programme including Q&A sessions, discussions, lectures, exhibitions, school screenings, food tastings, and festive parties — making it a true cultural event for cinephiles, expats, and curious minds alike. Special school morning screenings are also organised for primary and secondary students.
