The 9th edition of the Poprad Festival, directed by Maria Hamorova, will take place from the 10th to the 14th October 2001.

Poprad is situated at the foot of the High Tatra mountains in a delightful landscape marked by a variety of the colours, from the green hills to the grey Tatra mountains, from the snow-covered peaks to the multi-coloured burst of the flowers in spring and summer.

Established in Poprad, and promoted by the City of Poprad, the Koliba Studio, the Slovak Film Institution, the Slovak Mountaineering Club and Slovak Film Union, this festival represents a very important event for those fond of exploration and adventure, with special guests such as Sir Edmund Hillary, Glenn Singleman, Alain Robert, Tomaz Humar, Krysztof Wielicki, Kurt Diemberger, Michael Dillon, Christoph Hainz.

It often shows remarkable documentaries about alpine expeditions and interesting elements from films about that specific geographic area.
