Staff
The competition films are selected by the youngest generation of Czech film curators: the members of the selection committees are young dramaturges who have, despite their age, already managed to reach key positions in organisations that in the eye of the Czech audience significantly contribute to the overall picture of world cinematography. The members of the pre-selection committees are program directors of various international film festivals such as AniFest (the largest festival of animated films in the Czech Republic), Prague Film Festival FebioFest (the largest non-competitive film festival in the Czech Republic) or the program managers of IFF Karlovy Vary and the Institute of Documentary Film. The festival production is also provided by the rising generation of Czech artists and producers. Fresh Film Fest has proven to be a solid starting point for many, who have later continued their professional careers at other Czech film festivals (e.g. Jasmina Sijerčič – International Documentary Film Festival Ji hlava together with FebioFest or Nízký - AniFest), as well as those who won international prestige outside the festival scope (Daniel Fišer - Architecture, Natálie Deáková - Theatre, Eva Pospíšilová - Film, Tomáš Vorel jr. - Film)

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
