Prague Microfestival (PMF) is an annual international festival of the arts, combining contemporary writing with art, film, and performance, which every year welcomes renowned and emerging authors from across the world, staging them alongside film projections, music, performance and visual art, in a rich mixture of art forms and literature genres.
This year, due to the aggravated situation in Europe and the world, Prague Microfestival is facing extraordinary and unpredictable challenges resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and, for the safety of its authors, artists, book publishers, editor and its visitors, is moving its events to virtual worlds.
The 12th edition takes place between 30th of October and 1st of November. Artists, musicians, and performers from all over the world will show their work online at festival website (https://www.praguemicrofestival.com), which will result to making this year’s festival even more accessible for the public. Each festival day starts at 16:45.
All readings are in both Czech and English (together in national languages of guest authors).
