Karlovy Vary Film Festival Celebrates New Gen of Czech and Slovak Filmmakers: ‘The World Is Waiting’
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival seeks emerging filmmakers and welcomes veterans.
Themes of “fragile family bonds and explorations of love driven by complex female characters,” Kočárník says, will also feature prominently in many of the fest’s films, such as Norway’s “Loveable.” In addition, there are a few period dramas with a contemporary touch, such as Margarida Cardoso’s “Banzo,” Bruno Anković’s “Celebration,” about young men seduced by right-wing ideology, and Iveta Grófová’s 1940s-set “Hungarian Dressmaker.” But the event also celebrates its returning guests, including KVIFF regular Mark Cousins — set to present “A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things,” a feature about painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham — and juror Christine Vachon.
