The big double anniversary of Karlovy Vary International Film
Festival, celebrating 60 editions and 80 years, is also a jubilee
for its longtime artistic director Karel Och. Starting out in 2001
as a programmer, he has been with the festival for 25 years,
boosting its star power and prestige while aiming to stay true to
its traditions. Halfway through the 10-day event, Karel Och found
some time for an interview with Lidanoir, talking about the
festival's historic consciousness, why there are no initiatives to
increase diversity, inviting controversial personalities, and his
hopes for the future.
