Accepted films will be presented, judged and eligible for prizes. First prize is 10,000 Czech crowns.

IUTYT is an international thematic film and video festival that includes expert, cultural and social programs, lectures, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, and art programs. The aim of the festival is to inform the public about film and TV documentaries that consider the effects of human activity on the environment.

The festival began when communist censorship limited the freedom of film creators. Mostly, ecological problems were taboo for publicists. The need for truth inspired local enthusiasts to organize an amateur film screening.
