Andy Weir, an engineer and bestselling science fiction writer, took us on a thrilling rescue mission to Mars in 2015 in the film adaptation of his novel The Martian, where Matt Damon tried to survive on the red planet and find his way back to Earth. 11 years later, Andy Weir returns to space again, thanks to his next book: Project Hail Mary. In it, Ryan Gosling embarks on a mission that could decide the fate of the entire planet. He faces a seemingly impossible task: solving the mystery of a mysterious substance that is gradually extinguishing the Sun. But he may not be completely alone in this…

What to Expect This Year

Kinomixer 2026 brings to Prague a curated selection of standout feature films from around the world, a block of short genre films, and a screening of the silent classic Destiny (Der müde Tod, 1921) by Fritz Lang, accompanied by live music performed by baroque lutenist Jozef van Wissem.

A Horror Film Rooted in the Present

One of the highlights of the program is the horror thriller Appofeniacs, which dives into a world of deepfakes, viral manipulation and the loss of trust in reality itself. Interweaving several stories set in Los Angeles, the film asks an unsettling question: what if images can no longer be trusted as proof of truth? The film marks the feature debut of director Chris Marrs Piliero, known for music videos for global pop stars.

A Return to Classic B-Movie Fantasy

Fans of swords, sorcery and demons will enjoy Deathstalker, an ironic yet sincere tribute to 1980s sword-and-sorcery fantasy films. Packed with over-the-top action, monsters and magic, it’s a wild ride that celebrates the genre with humor and affection.

Dark Stop-Motion Animation from Mexico

The program also includes Frankelda (Soy Frankelda), the first Mexican feature-length stop-motion animated film. This dark fantasy follows a 19th-century writer who journeys into her own subconscious to confront the monsters of her imagination and restore the balance between fiction and reality. The film has received critical acclaim and screened at numerous international festivals.

Festival Highlight: Film with Live Music

The symbolic high point of Kinomixer will be the screening of the digitally restored expressionist classic Destiny by Fritz Lang, presented with live musical accompaniment by Jozef van Wissem. His hypnotic music blends regional folk traditions with contemporary elements, giving new life to the film and underscoring its timeless theme: love is stronger than death.

Short Films

Kinomixer also features the iShort block, offering a varied selection of horror, sci-fi and fantasy short films from around the world.

All films will be screened in their original language with Czech and English subtitles.
Programme and advance ticket sales here.

Kinomixer 2026 is held with the financial support of Prague 7 District.

The festival will be followed in autumn 2026 by the 12th edition of the Future Gate Sci-Fi Film Festival.

Tomorrow we have the official preview of the sequel 28 Years Later: Temple of Bones. And since it’s Future Night, you can expect not only the film, but also a whole lot of extra experiences.

A few years ago, we re-entered the planet Pandora and discovered its fascinating water world. Now comes the next chapter, AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, which will take us to new corners of the mysterious planet ruled by powerful elements. Expectations are huge not only because of the visual spectacle, but also because of the new stories, emotions and technologies with which James Cameron always pushes filmmaking one step further.

The Future Gate Sci-Fi Film Festival cannot be missed. We are preparing a special preview evening for you at the Lucerna cinema in Prague, full of Pandora atmosphere, themed decorations and a little surprise for fans. Come to the preview screenings in 2D and 3D.

Big congratulations to the Ukrainian film U ARE THE UNIVERSE by director Pavlo Ostrikov. At the Future Gate festival, it dominated both main categories – it impressed both the jury and the audience, who gave it the best rating among the competitive films: average 1.44.

U Are the Universe will be presented at the festival and in other festival cities: Hradec Králové (October 18), Pilsen and Košice (October 21), Šumperk (October 25) and Olomouc (October 31).

The Japanese film ALL YOU NEED IS KILL came in second place with a rating of 1.92.

In third place is the American indie film OBEX with an audience rating of 2.02.

Due to the great interest in the classic by director Mamoru Oshii, we are adding a screening of the film ANGEL’S EGG to the Brno Planetarium on Saturday October 11th from 6:30 PM. Tickets are now on sale here.

The opening film of this year’s Future Gate festival – You Are the Universe directed by Pavlo Ostrikov, won the Jury Prize. The film enchanted not only the audience of the packed Lucerna cinema during the opening ceremony, but also the jurors themselves: Monika Vaverová, Robert Hloz and Robert Ston.

You Are the Universe succeeded beautifully in overcoming its budget limitations, delivering a powerful and emotional story that takes unexpected turns, guided by clever character development and culminating in a magical, deeply moving ending.

The jury selected the 3 best from the 6 competing student films:

1. Beetroot

Wonderfully inventive, blending hand-drawn animation, stop motion, and the spirit of classic kaiju films – all led by a giant beetroot at its forefront – this film steals your attention and keeps on giving. We had such great fun watching this little jewel of creativity, and we wish for more films like this in our lives.

2. Photographer

From its cool retro spaceship to its ode to analogue photography, The Photographer (Fotograf) stands out as a visual poem – one that transports not only its main character, but the audience itself, into entirely different worlds.

3. The Last Dream

The Last Dream (Poslední sen) is a fun and rebellious film, unfolding with the pulse of a heist movie. Its joyful, youthful energy reminded us of the raw passion of making a first film: bold, relentless, and disarmingly honest.

Masterclass: 6.10. 19:00 Prague Film Institute | tickets

Lloyd Kaufman will have a busy schedule in Prague. On Saturday, October 4, he will have the European premiere of the documentary film Occupy Cannes in Lucerna and a screening of the legendary The Toxic Avenger. On Sunday, October 5, he will present his next two classics Terror Firmer and Shakespeare’s Sh*tstorm in the Aero cinema. And on Monday, he will conclude his Prague program with a masterclass at the Prague Film Institute. Limited number of tickets on sale here. On Wednesday, Occupy Cannes and the legendary The Toxic Avenger will be shown in the Brno Art cinema. We look forward to seeing you.

Tonight we have one of the highlights of this year’s festival! At the Lucerna cinema in Prague from 8:45 PM we will screen the cult film RoboCop, followed by an online discussion with director Paul Verhoeven. He will also receive the Future Gate Award for Outstanding Contribution to Science Fiction. Films such as RoboCop, Total Recall and Star Trek are among the highlights of the genre and are still relevant today. You can buy tickets here.

Few directors deserve to be called a genre legend as much as Paul Verhoeven. During his rich career, he was behind titles such as Starship Troppers and Total Recall, which were shown at previous years of the festival, or the dystopian drama RoboCop. An exclusive online Q&A will take place after the screening of the latter on Thursday, October 2. For his indelible contributions to the science fiction genre, the Dutch filmmaker will be awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is created annually for the festival by the PRUSA Lab studio.

Immersive artist Pavel Liška takes you into the environment of a cybernetic body, where a person connected to machines loses the line between what feeds them and what drains them. The federation of luminous objects corresponds to ancient TOTEMS – only instead of gods, today we invoke machines, whose infinite possibilities and consequences are as transcendent for us as the heavens once were.

For the 12th year of the festival, we have prepared two T-shirts for you!

On the left is the traditional FG merch that pays homage to the film legend RoboCop and we would like to thank Michal Suchánek, who created the motif for us. Not only owners of Future ID accreditations can look forward to a new addition to their wardrobe!

On the right, we present a T-shirt, the profits from the sale of which will go to the Nina Foundation. We would like to thank Jan Gemrot, who created this foundation T-shirt for you.

All will be personally hosted by Kaufman himself, known for his infectious sense of humor and tireless energy.

The festival tour then continues in Brno, where a special meeting with Lloyd Kaufman and screenings of his films will take place at the Art cinema on October 8. Come to a unique event where cult, grotesque and incorrect satire meet on the big screen – in the presence of the man who created it all.

You can expect different techniques, unique approaches and imaginative visions of what our physical shell could look like.

The theme of the 12th year is the human body. Genetic editing. Cybernetic implants. AI connected to the nervous system.

What does it mean to be human? If we can enhance our abilities or even replace body parts with technology, don’t we lose something essential about our humanity? Is our body just a tool that we can change at will, or does it have its own value and identity that we should respect?

We will gradually reveal individual points of the program. Follow the festival’s website and social networks so you don’t miss anything.

23 years ago, the zombie horror film 28 DAYS LATER, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, captivated the world. The terrifying idea of ​​a deadly virus that turns a person into a bloodthirsty monster in seconds became a cult classic. Now, the legendary series is back – and in style.
