4+4 DAYS IN MOTION 2008

Notice

Festival "4 + 4 Days in motion has been moved to October 2008.

Reasoning:
This is the first time in the history of the festival that only a few months before it's original dates, you've had to postpone the event by almost half a year. Only the international project "Four Cities in Motion" will take place in May. Can you tell us what changes caused this to take place?

"Almost three months before the festival was to begin, we still had not
received news from the City of Prague, who has been a partner of the festival since the very beginning, whether or not they would support the
event again. Two months before the festival was to begin, we received word that that was not going to happen. But last week, the situation somewhat changed, and we were told we would receive some "reduced" support - but we still have not received a contract. In such an uncertain situation as this, a festival of such a large scale as ours cannot be realised. This situation has also affected a lot of other famous festivals in Prague, like the Tanec Praha Dance Festival, the Days of European Film, the Marathon of New Music, and other non-commercial projects. In order that we remain a reputable international festival and a serious partner to our surrounding neighbouring partners and colleagues, we were forced to postpone the dates of the festival to October of this year."
