Vodafone is proud to be a long-standing partner of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. For us, this partnership is more than support for a prestigious cultural event—it is about making culture, creativity, and inspiring stories accessible to as many people as possible.
Karlovy Vary is a festival with an exceptional history and international reputation, but it is also a place where new voices, fresh ideas, and important conversations meet. That is why this partnership means so much to us. It reflects the values we strongly believe in: openness, diversity, and connection.
This year as well, visitors can meet us again in the Vodafone Zone in Dvořákovy sady, where we create space for shared experiences, discussion, and fun. The programme will offer popular community activities, debates organised by the Vodafone Foundation, support for young filmmakers, and experiences that clearly connect culture, technology, and innovation.
At the same time, we know that not everyone can be in Karlovy Vary in person. Through KVIFF.TV in Vodafone TV, we want to make it possible for more people to connect with the festival wherever they are. We see this as an important part of our role: not only connecting people through technology, but also connecting them with culture, inspiration, and each other.
I warmly invite everyone to enjoy this year’s festival—whether directly in Karlovy Vary or from wherever they are watching the programme.
