Planning to attend the 47th Karlovy Vary IFF 2012?

The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is the most significant annual film event in Central and Eastern Europe, presenting more than 180 new films from all over the world. The concept of the festival program stems from the Czech Republic’s advantageous geopolitical location in the center of Europe. Its goal is to contribute to the development and promotion of quality films.
