History
MOFFOM was established in 2004 as part of a non-profit association dedicated to the convergence of music and film. Spanning four-to-five days, festival events occurred in several cinemas and other venues in central Prague.
MOFFOM's programming included honors and tributes to signal figures in music film, such as Fred Frith, Julien Temple and Don Letts, as well as special thematic sections. In 2006 an Audience Choice Award was added, and for the first time in 2008 MOFFOM awarded a jury prize.
The 2004 festival debuted The Residents "Commercial Album" interactive DVD. The 2007 festival featured a concert by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, stars of the Oscar-winning film Once. The 2008 festival featured an exclusive video greeting from Lifetime Achievement Award honoree Pete Seeger.
