Historical Background
The Czech Republic has state of the art film studios and a comparatively low paid workforce so a large number of Hollywood funded films are filmed entirely in The Czech Republic and surrounding countries. The Karlovy Vary film festival is one of the oldest in the world. The pre-war dream of many enthusiastic filmmakers materialized in 1946 when in Marianske Lazne and Karlovy Vary a non-competition festival of films from seven countries took place. Above all it was intended to screen the results of the recently nationalized Czechoslovak film industry. After the first two years the festival moved permanently to Karlovy Vary.
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is now probably the most important festival in central Europe
