International Television Festival GOLDEN PRAGUE - ITF GOLDEN PRAGUE - one of
the eldest and most prestigious television festivals: its first edition was held
in 1964. Only Prix Italia (established 1949) and Monte Carlo and Montreaux (both
established in 1961) can boast with longer tradition.
The jubilee 40th edition of the ITF Golden Prague will take part in May 2003.
Initially, the ITF Golden Prague was opened only to TV production in all genres,
in the last decade was dedicated entirely to music programmes and became the place
of creative confrontation of producers, directors and script editors from the
whole world. ITF Golden Prague is also the place where new contacts among Eastern
TV stations and producers with outstanding western European and American TV producers
arise. This is the main reason why is the ITF Golden Prague unique in comparison
with other festivals.
An interest in the ITF Golden Prague is still ascending: in the 39th edition
650 delegates took part from 27 countries (including significant representatives
of international organizations and key personalities from the commercial distribution
of TV programmes field).
There were 103 programmes submitted to the competition section, 12 programmes
to the non-competition section from 25 countries and 57 organisations.
ITF Golden Prague has built up a position of the most prestigious international
television festival in the music on TV screen field.
