(Smetana was born in 1824 in Litomyšl, east of Prague, near the traditional border between Bohemia and Moravia, then provinces of the Habsburg Empire. Since 1949 the city has been home to Smetana’s Litomysl International Opera Festival, the second oldest classical music festival in the Czech Republic and the country’s largest open-air classical music festival. The centre of the Smetana’s Litomysl Opera Festival activities is Litomysl Castle where the composer was born and spent the first seven years of his life.)

UNICA – Union Internationale du Cinéma –  was founded in 1937. Its aim is to promote filmmaking as a means of international communication, to support international cultural cooperation, to represent its member federations at UNESCO and to achieve recognition of the independence and freedom of expression for member federations. UNICA’s renowned Film Archive was established in 1938 and currently houses over 1200 film and video works, the oldest dating from 1935.

A highlight of UNICA’s activities is the World Championship Film Festival, a week-long festival held each year in a different country. During the festival the best films from the member countries are shown to an international audience. The first UNICA festival was held in Belgium in 1931 and the designated country in 2015 will be Russia and, in 2016, Romania. In its 84-year history the festival has been held in many countries including Italy (3 times), Belgium (3 times), Poland (3), Netherlands (4), Austria (4), Luxembourg (4), France (5), Switzerland (5) and Germany (6). England, inexplicably, has never been the setting for a UNICA Film Festival.  But a welcome event occurred in September 2015 when Britain’s acclaimed Dave Watterson was elected as the new President of UNICA. He is a much-in-demand jury member on the international film-festival circuit and Encore Films wishes him every success in his appointment to this well-deserved honour.

UNICA supports chosen international film festivals which agree to abide by the rules of patronage.  For these events a special UNICA Gold Medal can be awarded by UNICA affiliated festivals. Filmmaker Ian Woodward has received UNICA Gold Medals for his films The Red Rose, Too Many Ghosts and From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields.
