The debut of the director Philippe van Leeuw The Day God Went Away won the 11th International Film Festival Bratislava. The eight day film marathon was rounded off by a closing ceremony during which members of the juries awarded Grand Prix for best film and other statutary prizes. Matthieu Darras became the new artistic director of the IFF Bratislava, and in composition of the programme he was assisted by an international team of seven consultants. Enriching festival`s programme by two new competitional sections – Competition of Documentary Films and Competition of Short Films, each with their own juries, was a novelty. Also this year the festival visited Banská Bystrica and Košice, and it lasted not one but three days in these cities. The Competition of Short Films took place in Banská Bystrica, Košice hosted the Competition of Documentary Films. The programme of the 11th IFF Bratislava consisted of 175 full-length, medium-length and short films which almost 20.000 viewers came to see.
