T he Karlovy Vary

International Film Festival is a film festival held annually in Karlovy Vary ( Carlsbad ), Czech Republic . It is one of the oldest festivals in the world and has become Central and Eastern Europe ’ s leading film event .
The extensive informative program features both distribution pre-premieres and films awarded at other festivals . But it also includes discoveries of artistic creations by independent directors , productions coming out of little known film industries , retrospectives , and an overview of Czech film output during the past year .
Since 1948 , the Grand Prize has been the Crystal Globe – although its form has often changed . As of the 35th Karlovy Vary IFF 2000 the Crystal Globe has taken on a new look : now the figure of a woman stands raising a crystal ball .
