AFO currently ranks among top European festivals focusing on science documentaries. Its major goal is to present topical information from all spheres of knowledge, and thus promote science in general public, young audiences, and film and television professionals. Its unique focus combines competition screenings of new Czech and world science documentaries, with lectures and presentations of scientists, creating a unique atmosphere, where filmmakers meet with scholars and enthusiastic audiences. Academia Film Olomouc is the oldest festival in Central Europe devoted to a consistent mapping of science documentary film and TV production. It was founded in 1966 as a joint initiative of Short Film Prague, Palacky University in Olomouc and the Czechoslovak Academy of Science. Among the festival guests in recent years were Richard Saunders, Sonya Pemberton, Lawrence M. Krauss, Robert Winston, Martha Holmes, Jeff Lieberman, Jennifer Gardy, Derek Muller, Andrew Holtz, Nigel Marven, Christine LeGoff, Robert Rosenstone, Timothy Boon, Albert Barillé, Alison Griffiths, Lisa Cartwright, Alison Leigh and others.
You can also watch a short video capturing the 49th AFO atmosphere.

CANADIAN DREAM
The Movie " Canadian Dream" is a great guide for new immigrants in Canada. It introduces new immigrants to the challenges parents, and children may face if the wrong way if they take the wrong route. It gives an important message to parents to know what their children, and teens are doing, to trust your intuition, and that there are resources in Canada that can provide help to new immigrants. Immigrants, and immigrant children are the future of Canada, it is a story about changing our old cultural view, and really becoming a Canadian of acceptance, and rejection.
