Press Play Prague: An International Film Festival About Journalism

🎥 Press Play Prague brings together journalists, filmmakers, and audiences to celebrate and amplify the power of storytelling to shape a shared understanding of the world – and, in particular, journalism’s role within it.
📢 This year's theme is JOURNALISM UNDER PRESSURE
In an era of deepening polarization and rampant propaganda, the role of journalists as truth-seekers and democracy’s gatekeepers has never been more vital — or more vulnerable. This year’s festival explores the complicated interplay between media and power, examining how journalists confront ethical dilemmas and uphold their integrity amid relentless pressure from corporations, oligarchs, governments, and other powerful forces.
👉 Through a curated selection of documentaries and feature films, Press Play Prague will bring to light stories of courage, corruption, and compromise, offering audiences a front-row seat to the moral conflicts and personal sacrifices that define the profession.
🎬 These films expose the harsh realities of censorship, self-censorship, misinformation, and the daily struggle to maintain an independent voice in the face of mounting external threats, serving as both a tribute to those who risk everything in pursuit of truth and a sobering reminder of what is at stake.
