The title of one of the most original films of recent years can easily go to Junk Head. It stands out with its unique stop-motion animation, the oppressive atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world and brilliantly portrayed bizarre characters who are trying to survive at all costs. The director successfully follows up on its success on the international stage and at the Future Gate festival (the film won the jury and audience awards) with Junk World, which takes us back more than a thousand years before the events of the first film. Its main character, a small robot Robin, sets out on his distant and arduous journey full of pitfalls and encounters with the obscure inhabitants of this inhospitable wasteland. All of this is framed by unique animation that stands out for its technical precision.
FUTURE GATE SCI-FI FILM FESTIVAL 2026
In its 12 years of existence, it has attracted tens of thousands of fans of sci-fi films, science and technology. The 13th edition of the festival will take place in the fall in Prague, Brno and other cities throughout the Czech Republic. What does Future Gate bring? Unique program: It offers premieres of new films, cult sci-fi classics, documentaries, series marathons, student and short films.
The theme of the 13th year of the festival will be geopolitics and resources in the future.
The planet is running out of energy, resources are disappearing, the climate is collapsing, and with it the political balance. Future conflicts will be over solar grids, asteroid mining, and control of data resources. Energy is no longer natural, it is strategic, artificial, alien. Resources no longer lie beneath our feet, but circle overhead, hidden in algorithms or scattered in the fabric of reality. Data is the new source of real power. It is not just about technology, it is a test of humanity, it is about the direction we will take as a civilization. We will find inspiration again in movies.
Program subject to change.
