at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival
June 29 - July 7, 2012
The programme is an official side-bar of 10 European films by young European directors presented annually at the Karlovy Vary
International Film Festival (Czech Republic). The festival is a key international event which acts as a bridge to the countries and cultures of Eastern Europe. The filmmakers invited to present their films are selected by Variety critics in conjunction with EFP members and the Festival and are introduced to the press, industry and public during 2 days of events and screenings.
With the initiation of this programme in 2001, EFP and its partners aim to honour new, ground-breaking European cinema and the talent behind it.
Variety is EFP's main partner regarding selection of films, presentation
of directors and is the co-host of the European industry cocktail.
