The Unbreakable and Sacrificed Film Festival was established in 2020 as a project of the Museum of Memory of the XXth Century. Originally focused on documentaries, it now also includes feature films and animated films. The organisers aim to create an international film showcase dedicated to dramatic events and historical figures of the last century. It is inspired by the Polish documentary film festival NNW in Gdynia. The programme is created in cooperation with members of the festival's programme board. A catalogue with an overview of the films and interviews with historians and directors is always prepared for the festival. There is also a website atwww.nezlomniaobetovani.cz.
An overview of the programme of the 5th edition of the festival is here.
