The international premiere of Good Vibrations by directors Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glen Leyburn will open the 47th Karlovy Vary IFF.

This fast-paced story about Terri Hooley, the founder of the Belfast punk scene, is a smartly constructed picture that combines humor and superb music, and also uses period archive footage. It tells the tale of a dreamer who determines to go after his goal without any guarantee of success.

 

Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love to close the 47th Karlovy Vary IFF

Woody Allen envisaged his new film as a kaleidoscope of tragicomic lives. This time around, the world-famous director found the ideal setting for a motion picture full of international movie stars: Penélope Cruz, Ellen Page, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni and Mister Allen himself. The Eternal City – according to the filmmaker, it’s simply too big to have just one plotline express everything about it. In Allen’s version, Rome becomes a city full of whimsical stories that deserve to be told.
