Fourteen Directors Unveil Next Projects in Karlovy Vary’s Central Stage Program
The Karlovy Vary Film Festival has unveiled the 14 projects selected for its new Central Stage showcase.
We were fortunate to collaborate closely with Central European film institutes, who helped us identify filmmakers currently working on highly anticipated projects that genuinely reflect the established voices already resonating with audiences.” The Czech and Slovak projects include “Masaryk: The Coup,” a sequel to “A Prominent Patient” by Julius Ševčík, which premiered at Berlinale and won 12 Czech Lion Awards; Michal Hogenauer and Šimon Holý, both familiar to KV audiences from the East Meets West and Proxima competitions, will present their new projects “Around the Fire” and “First Dates,” respectively, both in development; Slovak director Marko Škop, whose previous films have been awarded at KV and Toronto, will present Láska, his new feature, currently in post-production. Ukraine will be represented by “Vacuum” by Berlinale alumna Yelizaveta Smith, whose “Militantropos” (co-directed with Alina Gorlova and Simon Mozgovyi) just premiered in Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, and Ivan Tymchenko with his new project “Making-of.”
