Returning after not one but two cancellations caused by the pandemic, Karlovy Vary Film Festival moves into its final days, with artistic director“It was a good decision to postpone,” he tells, noting that the streamlined program, with 25 fewer titles than usual, helped satisfy the audience’s needs. “I think people appreciated the fact that even if they came just for one day, they could see what they wanted to see.
“We have this traditional sense of what the cinema experience should be, of bringing over filmmakers and enabling these encounters, but we can’t stop progress,” notes Och, also mentioning the festival’s very own video platform KVIFF.TV. Och also opened up about the perceived lack of diversity of this year’s honorees, including Czech director Jan Svěrák, given the KVIFF President’s Award, as well as actors Michael Caine – awarded for outstanding artistic contribution to world cinema – Ethan Hawke and Johnny Depp. Depp, about to receive the Donostia Award at San Sebastian as well, has become a controversial figure due to his legal woes.
“This year, we have three men and we are about to welcome the fourth. Next year, it might be different again. [With Michael Caine] no one suspected, including us, that a star of his caliber would even show up. Despite his health, he was very dedicated and it was a beautiful first weekend, also because of him.
