On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, the Slovak Radio building in Bratislava hosted the ceremonial presentation of the The Sun in a Net National Film Awards for 2024. The awards are presented annually by the Slovak Film and Television Academy (SFTA), with the Slovak Film Institute (SFI) serving as a co-organizer and partner of the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14th edition of the awards brought several new developments. For the first time, an award was presented in the category of Best Short Fiction or Documentary Film. Another change affected how the ceremony was shared with the public: Slovak Radio and Television (STVR) did not broadcast the event live, but instead only provided the technical production. For the first time in the award’s history, audiences had the opportunity to watch the winners receive trophies\u2014 designed by glass artist Oliver Ja\u0161\u0161o \u2014 exclusively online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
