The only thing you need to enjoy the Festival is to get your free accreditation – you can do so online on our website in the ACCREDITATI ON section. You may then pick up the accreditation in person at any time during the Festival at the Festival Centre at Konvikt (Arts Centre of Palacký University) , Metropol Cinema and Fort Science during the hours mentioned below:
⚠ THE SPECIAL COSMIC ACCREDITATIONS WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU ONLY AT KONVIKT!⚠
As part of the AFO Space Accreditations, you can reserve your spot on almost the entire program. Basic accreditation allows you to reserve your spot in workshops, walk, LARP, VR, or AFO Junior accompanying programs.
You can always reserve or cancel your spot in a workshop/movie/accompanying program until midnight of the previous day. An exception occurs in the VR ZONE, where the reservation system closes 15 minutes before each screening.
However, you don’t have to be sad if you didn’t manage to sign up for a great program. It may happen that several viewers don’t show up for a particular event and spots become available. For this reason, you can try your luck and show up 15 minutes before the event and ask the venue manager about availability.
The accreditation for the AFO festival is free of charge. However, you can purchase one of our special types of accreditation and become part of the AFO Universe. You will get the option to reserve your seat at the venue and receive selected pieces of the renowned AFO merchandising and many other benefits. For more information, visit the ACCREDITATION page.
AFO has two basic types of accreditation:
1) Free festival accreditation
2) COSMIC ACCREDITATION – for a one-time amount of CZK 1,200/2,200/3,500 you will get the opportunity to reserve seats in your chosen programme sections
3) MUSIC IS SCIENCE ACCREDITATION – For a one-time payment of CZK 450, you can buy a Music is Science accreditation and enjoy the accompanying programme to the fullest! Music projects from the Czech Republic and abroad, sound of the present and the future. The complete line-up can be found here.
The main source of information on the Festival programme is our website. It provides visitors with all the important information.

The AFO organisational team strives to reduce the Festival’s ecological footprint with each new year, and it offers its visitors the opportunity to participate as well. On all Festival venues, you can find waste bins with which you can separate your trash, you may munch on vegan treats in the Atrium bar, and you can get your drink into a washable cup.
Smoking is banned at all Festival venues and premises. After all, the Festival takes place on University premises which could catch fire.
At the Festival Centre, i.e. in the bar and our shop, we accept both cash and credit cards.
If you lose something (phone, wallet, yourself), make for the direction of Accreditations at the Festival Centre in the Carolina Hall.
Films, lectures, workshops, music, guests, fans and most of all SCIENCE. Once again, we want AFO58 to become the best festival in the galaxy! Follow our social sites and explore our web to find out more about the programme. We will supply you with science dose by dose until the climax comes – AFO59.
