Two Castles – One Noir!

Starting next year, the Noir Film Festival will alternate between two castles. The 13th edition (August 27–30, 2025) will return to the royal Křivoklát Castle after five years, while the 14th edition in August 2026 will take place at Český Šternberk Castle.

The festival will continue to rotate between these two castles – Křivoklát for odd years and Český Šternberk for even years. The festival is also changing its schedule, running from Wednesday to Saturday, which means there will be four main evening screenings. Both the opening and closing ceremonies will take place in the upper castle courtyard under the open sky.

Keep coming back with us, we look forward to seeing you!
