European Film Promotion (EFP) and the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) are thrilled to welcome the ten up-and-coming directors selected for this year's EFP Future Frames programme presenting their latest films at the festival (until 9 July 2022).

After an intense online pre-programme including pitching trainings and industry meetings the talents will be presenting their films in the following days to the industry, press and audience at the festival. Part of the 3-day-programme on site is also the exclusive master class with American director Tim Sutton who will share his experiences in filmmaking with the directors.

EFP FUTURE FRAMES – Generation NEXT of European Cinema highlights new European cinema and the promising young directing talent behind it. A number of outstanding film students and graduates from schools throughout Europe was nominated by their countries' national film promotion institutes, with the final selection being made by KVIFF's artistic director Karel Och and his team of programmers.
