Quote

Attending Karlovy Vary Variety Critics’ Choice was a true highlight of the SNAP festival calendar. Not only was it an unparalleled opportunity to participate meaningfully in a curated community of European filmmakers, it was a chance to bring SNAP to a city that celebrates film on a scale I have not seen. All in all, a deeply inspiring experience, the generous dividends of which I am still enjoying over a year later.

Variety's Ten European Directors To Watch at the
Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Czech Republic (July)


This programme is an official sidebar of ten European films by young European directors presented annually at the renowned Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

The filmmakers invited to present their films are selected by critics from the international trade paper Variety, in conjunction with EFP members and the festival. The ten directors are introduced to the press, industry and public during two days of events and screenings. Since 2001, EFP and its partners have aimed to celebrate new, groundbreaking European cinema and the directing talent behind it with this initiative.
