Havel The Made In Prague On/Off Festival is turning 24 with a hybrid edition, showcasing the latest films both in cinemas and online.

It will also team up with the Polish Film Festival to present the UK premiere of Agnieszka Holland’s biopic Charlatan, about Czech faith healer Jan Mikolasek.
Jiri Havelka´s debut, Owners will also screen. Hailed as "the comedy of the decade", the action is set in a residents’ association meeting, where 12 homeowners must agree on building management. As the meeting progresses their characters, ranging between idealists, profiteers and manipulators, are revealed to hilarious but chilling effect. With a nod to Sidney Lumet’s 12 Angry Men, this is a perceptive portrayal of contemporary Czech society.
