Meet This Year’s Jury at Golden Prague 2026

Golden Prague 2026 will once again welcome an outstanding international jury, bringing together leading voices from film, television and the performing art.

This year’s jury will be chaired by Maria Willer (3B-Produktion), an acclaimed producer whose award-winning films explore music, history and the arts. Her work includes Emmy-nominated productions as well as titles recognised at Golden Prague.

Joining her is Jiří Heřman, renowned opera director and Artistic Director of Janáček Opera Brno, known for his distinctive visual storytelling and deep musical sensitivity.

The jury also features Katharina Jeschke, an international expert in arts and media strategy and former Secretary General of IMZ, whose work has significantly shaped the global cultural audiovisual landscape.

Further members include Anja Stabell, producer at NRK specialising in music and large-scale television productions, and Boris Berger, a French producer who successfully bridges traditional performing arts with contemporary audiovisual formats. His project Seasons of Dance was awarded the Grand Prix at Golden Prague 2025.

Together, the jury represents a unique combination of expertise across disciplines and formats, offering participants the opportunity to present their work to professionals who actively shape today’s audiovisual culture.

For decades, Golden Prague has served as a vital platform where outstanding works gain international visibility, connect with broadcasters and festivals, and become part of a wider cultural dialogue.
