Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the Film Harvest festivals held in Zlín during the Protectorate era in 1940 and 1941. These festivals, inspired by international film festivals like Venice, aimed to celebrate and promote Czech cinema. The first festival, organized by the Film Central Office for Bohemia and Moravia, featured a mix of feature and short films and included a rich accompanying program. The second festival saw increased German oversight and included prominent Nazi officials. Despite this, the festivals were significant cultural events, showcasing new Czech films and fostering a sense of national pride. The festivals also served as a platform for informal discussions about the future of Czech cinema post-war. The article highlights the festivals' dual role as both cultural celebrations and subtle acts of national resistance.
