ITF Golden Prague (Czech Television)

Czech Television (CT) is a public service broadcaster: channels CT1 and CT2 (both nation-wide), Teletext CT, Teletext Expres, on-line at www.ceskatelevize.cz
CT organises its International Television Festival (ITF)Golden Prague annually every June in the Zofin Palace in Prague - one of the eldest and most prestigious television festivals: its first edition was held in 1964. Initially, the ITF Golden Prague was opened only to TV production in all genres, in the last decade was dedicated entirely to music programmes and became the place of creative confrontation of producers, directors and script editors from the whole world. ITF Golden Prague is also the place where new contacts among Eastern TV stations and producers with outstanding western European and American TV producers arise. This is the main reason why is the ITF Golden Prague unique in comparison with other festivals. The ITF Golden Prague contributes to the recognition of music and dance television programmes through competition, professional gatherings, public screenings and a video library. ITF GP is a competition for television programmes from the realm of so-called classical music, dance, jazz and world music. More info at www.festivalgoldenprague.cz
