Film Selection 2008
The Karlovy Vary IFF presents over 220 feature films from all over the world every year. Apart from the films in the special retrospectives, most of the films are screened in the Czech Republic each year for the first time, many of them in their world, international or European premiere as well.
This year again, the audience will have chance to see interesting retrospectives and focuses apart from the traditional program sections.
Official Selection – Competition
