The No Barriers project has been an integral part of our festival since the year 2000. The aim of the service is to make wheelchair-bound visitors’ festival experience as pleasant as possible. Handicapped moviegoers and their escorts receive free tickets to barrier-free cinemas, assistance services, transportation throughout Karlovy Vary in specially modified microbuses, parking spaces by the Thermal Hotel, and an extensive information service that provides an overview of festival events. Over the course of its existence, No Barriers has gained many faithful followers, and we are pleased to see that the number of guests using this service has grown each year.
