10,30 pm Fiordmoss /Small Stage, Palác Akropolis
Fiordmoss is a special duet offering dreamy folk background of beautiful electronic arrangement. In order to match them with some category, you might compare them with all the famous names of trip hop, people who stopped the world for a second and managed to connect mechanic electronics with the beauty of traditional instruments. The magic of the dreamy sound, produced just by an acoustic guitar and a few synthesizers, is enhanced by the matching projection which makes the already complex experience even more complete. It is an experience evoked just by a minor marine work by by three youngsters - Petra Hermanová (vox), Roman Přikryl (synth, electronica) and Jan Boroš (guitar) - Libor Galia, Rock&Pop (Download the excellent EP Gliese.)
12 pm DJ Robot /Small Stage, Palác Akropolis
Those who visited previous years of Fresh Film Fest are familiar with this traditional robotic mixture made of hip hop, funk and breaks. DJ Robot is someone you might meet out of the Festival arena – at various parties, sport events, openings or fashion shows. It took him just nine years to become of the most sought-after DJs in the local market. Come and find out about what makes him so good.

8 pm Vees /Big Hall, Palác Akropolis
Vees makes neither copies nor revival. It is an authentic wild guitar band. Now they have no rivals and there are no similar groups in the Czech Republic. These excellent musicians who look like some high school students are able to channel an impressive amount of energy into their audience which shines for the rest of the evening. Don´t miss them. Soon they are about to produce their debut and Fresh Film Fest gives us an opportunity to make sure that the Czech music scene is still not so bad as it might seem while listening to the radio. Vees!
10 pm The Fakes' Special Appereance /Small stage, Palác Akropolis
One of more, maybe even the most famous Czech DJ projects. The Pioneers are managed by two journalists – Pavel Kučera and Šimon Šafránek – who produce contemporary sound of the clubs located to the West of Aš, with funny intercuts from the 1980' Czech classic (Pražský výběr…) spiced by their own production (remixes for Kazety, The Prostitutes, the appreciated remake of Svoboda's Návštěvníci …) Give me the best disco dancers!

8 pm Le Pneumatiq /Big Hall, Palác Akropolis
A little bit of fun on Friday and recollection of the early 90's. Le Pneumatiq go straight to the point and break the continuity of time and place. Thanks to their sound, some will feel younger, others as if they haven´t been born yet. A big dance party. Get rid of all the prejudices. Le Pneumatiq say: “This is an energy show, which attracts more and more people as Le Pneumatiq keep the classic structure of a song despite using many dance music techniques …”
10 pm LOVE CORNER SOUND (FR) & Angel Dawg /Theatre Bar, Palác Akropolis
A stylish mixture of reggae dancehallu and urban beats.
