Summer film school Uherské Hradiště
Přijďte žít filmem zase příští rok na 44. LFŠ
27.07.—05.08.2018
Letní filmová škola Uherské Hradiště je již řadu let největším nesoutěžním filmovým festivalem v České republice. Již od roku 1964 je cílem akce rozšiřovat filmový obzor členů filmových klubů a filmových nadšenců (z nich velkou část tvoří středoškolští a vysokoškolští studenti) a seznamovat je s filmovým uměním v nových a netradičních souvislostech. Po roce 2000 zaznamenala LFŠ výrazný rozvoj – ze semináře primárně zaměřeného na členy filmových klubů se stala druhou největší filmovou akcí na území České republiky, kterou každoročně navštíví tisíce diváků (v posledních letech vždy kolem 5000 návštěvníků). Filmy jsou promítány v sálech a letních kinech rozmístěných po celém Uherském Hradišti. Festival se neomezuje pouze na filmové projekce, ale lze navštívit i bohatý doprovodný program, a to výstavy, divadelní představení a koncerty. Letní filmovou školu pořádá Asociací českých filmových klubů.
