MOFFOM festival cancelled in 2009

The annual Music on Film - Film on Music (MOFFOM) festival will not take place in 2009, it was announced on Thursday. The festival, held in Prague every October, will cease to run due to a lack of funding, organizers said. The event was founded in 2003 to promote ‘good quality filmmaking focusing on music’, said those behind the festival. Last year it awarded American legend Pete Seeger and Czech singer Marta Kubišová for their lifetime’s achievement.
