Festival audiences also chose their winner from all the films through voting and ratings. The total number of voting slips collected exceeded fifteen thousand. The Audience Award of the 20th Cinematik festival went to the Czech-Slovak documentary film „Velký vlastenecký výlet“ (The Great Patriotic Trip), directed by Robin Kvapil. Do you think the war in Ukraine is a sham? That the media are lying about the death tolls and the consequences of the „special military operation“ in Ukraine? This was the call from director Robin Kvapil, to which sixty people responded, questioning the Russian invasion. Three of them, who describe themselves as "desolates" and supporters of Vladimir Putin, eventually travelled to Donbas with the crew.
