The Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival, the second oldest film festival in the world after Venice, is preparing to celebrate two milestones: 80 years since the first festival, and its 60th edition.

Among the events planned to commemorate the anniversaries is the exhibition titled “KVIFF 60/80 (1946–2026),” in which the festival looks back on its rich history with an exhibition of photographs focusing on its early years, the atmosphere of its pre-1989 editions, important moments and festival guests.
