		Some kind of politically motivated soviet film was selected for the prize, but the French actress Marie-José Nat, who was on the jury, made up her mind and convinced other members of the jury, among them the young Krzysztof Zanussi, to give the main prize to Ken Loach, who won the competition.
		After every festival we hope that young people will come again and come for several generations: Those that came fourteen years ago while in their twenties are now 34 and still keep coming, not with a backpack, but to the hotel.

		Amongst them, thirty to forty films are chosen to be prized and praised, but only five to six truly artistic films in the entire collection are films which will endure the test of time to remain part of the history of the cinema and open new horizons.
		This film can also be an important lesson for the students of cinema in order to see how all the parts and elements of a film can – or should – be in the service of the main theme.
		The entire film takes place on a road, and with the incessant travelling of the camera, we see that both sides of the road are filled with confusing road signs pointing left, right, up, down… The film is an artistic satire of Croatia’s position after its independence from former Yugoslavia.

		Karlovy Vary's signature strength is in its location and its commitment to presenting the region's cinema, a point which I've already made.
		Obviously, Karlovy Vary can't be responsible for the ups and downs of regional filmmaking in any given year, and there certainly are ups and downs in this part of the world - especially the surprisingly disappointing Slovak comedy of unemployment in de-industrialized Ostrava, The City of the Sun, by the talented director Martin Sulik.
		Karlovy Vary is to be commended for showing both of van Gogh's films, as it is for searching the archives and showing Czech films (and other films) that audiences rarely get a chance to see.

		KARLOVY VARY, CZECH REPUBLIC—Most of the year, the oldest spa town in Bohemia, nestled in a picturesque valley 80 miles west of Prague, attracts busloads of senior citizens who come to sip and bathe in the curative mineral waters.
		In early July, however, beer and Becherovka (the allegedly medicinal local liqueur) flow even more freely than the sulfurous hot springs, and Karlovy Vary takes on the atmosphere of an open-air youth hostel, as backpacking movie fans descend on the most accessible of world-class film festivals.
		Turning 40 this month (59 years after it was first held, the discrepancy a legacy of a Communist-era mandate to alternate with the Moscow Film Festival), the KVIFF supplemented a big-tent program (which included a survey of recent Canadian cinema and a Liv Ullmann retro) with red-carpet glitz.

		The festival opened with a screening of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - a new print, we were told - which launched a tribute to Robert Redford.
		Karlovy Vary is also running a retrospective of the films of Sam Peckinpah, including the newly-restored and augmented print of Major Dundee, Peckinpah's wild saga of rogue major Charlton Heston leading a troop of renegade soldiers to fight Mexicans, Apaches, the French and each other in the years after the Civil War.
		The film is a dance that spins around wildly, shifting from conflict to conflict, slashing into a different character at each turn.

	A Window Both Ways - Central and East European film at the 36th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival
		Exhausted film buffs hoping to return next year must have breathed a sigh of relief when they read in the Festival bulletin that artistic director Eva Zaoralová believes that "unfortunately" further expansion in the number of films shown is impossible.
		It is, perhaps, his most narratively conventional film, yet at the same time it has all the traditional elements of a Švankmajer film: the animation of the inanimate, dark cellars, glass eyes, over-sized tongues, inedible food and a multi-levelled relationship between the original text and its actual narration.
		Whilst the film has to be admired for the handling of its central character, some viewers may find it difficult to relate to the extreme, fatalistic sense of social determinism and its refusal to consider individual free will as a significant factor in life.

	Festivals 1999: Sochi, Karlovy Vary, Wels, Solotohurn, Hong kong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Filmed in an expressionist style and remarkable for its striking camera technique, it's about a wisp of a girl, cut from the same mould as Lillian Gish in a D.W. Griffith film, who suffers a fate worse than death.
		This was a festival of the superlative - the rebirth of the Wels festival in Austria, formerly under the aegis of the late and able Reinhard Pyrker (when it was known as the "Austrian Film Days"), today under the imaginative direction of Andreas Gruber.
		The film itself is spoken in 6 languages, ranging from the Arabic to 'schwyzerdütsch' -- and this fact alone is a confirmation of the idea of multiculturalism transferred to the cinema screen.

	Karlovy Vary Film Festival
		KARLOVY VARY, Czech Republic -- Today's Karlovy Vary International Film Festival bears few reminders of the Communist rule that nearly led to its demise, but one landmark might stand forever as a monument to the past.
		Karlovy Vary experienced a brief resurgence in the wake of 1989's Velvet Revolution, which ended 40 years of Communist rule and allowed the festival to screen previously banned films, but that was followed quickly by 1993's Velvet Divorce, which saw Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
		Karlovy Vary's popular East of the West sidebar, a favorite among fans of Eastern European cinema, has been upgraded to a competition this year in recognition of the growing worldwide importance of films from the former Soviet Bloc.

		Karlovy Vary 2004 was also the scene of a festival contretemps with FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Associations), the organization in charge of competition regulations for member festivals.
		According to one media account, when Karlovy Vary invited Metod Pevec’s Pod njenim oknom (Beneath Her Window) (Slovenia) to participate in the competition, FIAPF was informed well in advance of the decision, and FIAPF gave its approval.
		Later, smack in the middle of the Karlovy Vary festival, that permission was withdrawn by FIAPF’s Bertrand Mollier on the grounds that Beneath Her Window had already participated in the Kingfisher Competition in the Slovenian capital at the Ljubljana International Film Festival last November.

		The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival has been classified by FIAPF as a "non-specialized festival with a feature film competition" (category A).
		The Karlovy Vary film festival is one of the oldest in the world.
		Legendary festivals filled with stars and absolute gems of films gave way to other years which, due to the bombastic and ubiquitous socialist rhetoric, nearly caused the complete loss of the festival audience.
