The city of Košice

In 2016, Art Film Fest moved house to Košice, chiefly drawn by the city’s more accommodating infrastructure. The cultural and economic hub of eastern Slovakia, Košice is an ideal location for a film festival.

The Town of Spišská Nová Ves

For two days, the 2018 Art Film Fest will expand to include the town of Spišská Nová Ves, with screenings at the cinema Kino Mier, 16–17 June 2018.

It was here on Saturday, 19 June 1965, that the premiere of Oscar-winning film The Shop on Main Street, set in the Slovak town of Sabinov and starring Jozef Kroner, was seen by a whopping 20,000 viewers.
