A long-standing supporter of the festival, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in London continues its support of Women and the World International Film Festival in 2026.

The Embassy has stood alongside the festival since its launch in 2024, providing continued support for its mission, its values and its commitment to highlighting women’s voices and perspectives in cinema.

Over the years, this relationship has become an important part of the festival’s story — bringing together film, culture and international dialogue, while creating a space for filmmakers and audiences to connect through stories that matter.

The Embassy’s continued support is a meaningful example of a cultural partnership built not around a single event, but around shared values and a long-term commitment to cinema, creativity and meaningful exchange.

As part of the 2026 festival programme, screenings and events at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in London will take place on 6, 9, 10 and 11 November.

Full programme and screening schedule to be announced soon.
