The 2025 Press Play Prague International Film Festival has officially come to a close, celebrating the enduring power of journalism on screen and reaffirming its mission.
This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our partners.
Finally, a warm thank-you to Česká pera, Media Copilot, Clarion Hotel Old Town, and Únětický pivovar for making this year’s festival such a vibrant and memorable experience.
I am hosting a talk after a screening of this documentary on Friday within the Press Play Prague festival. Speakers will be @RFERL journalists Vladyslav Yesypenko, who the film is about, and Alsu Kurmasheva, who was also imprisoned in Russia. Details: https://t.co/YDe8RPuQBd
