SPACES
During the festival you will have the opportunity to experience a total of 3 locations cultivating the cultural mycelium in Ústí nad Labem: Hraničář Public Hall cinema, multifunctional hall of Ústí nad Labem House of Arts and Armaturka, which until recently hosted the Emil Filla Gallery.

Public Hall Hraničář
Prokopa Diviše 1812/7, Ústí nad Labem
Hraničář is an open platform connecting contemporary art and culture with everyday life in a dynamically developing society. The association sees contemporary art and culture as more than a superstructure and a leisure activity. The extensive cultural programme of the house is based on the profiling of the individual regular program. The aim is to attract public attention to Ústí nad Labem not only from the region.

Ústí nad Labem House of Arts
The Ústí nad Labem House of Arts represents a high-quality institutional background that meets demanding international standards for the presentation of exhibitions and works of art. Its spatial and technological potential allows full participation in prestigious grant schemes and demanding international productions.

Armaturka
Jateční 3587/51, Ústí nad Labem
Armaturka factory is located in an industrial area on the border of the city centre of Ústí nad Labem and Předlice, an area largely made up of brownfields and socially excluded locality, in a building that originally served as an assembly hall for valves and still operates on its lower floor. The space was until recently the home for the Emil Filla Gallery.
