KVIFF Industry Unveils Film & Book Showcases
16 Jun
Summary
- KVIFF Central Stage features 11 films seeking partnerships.
- Book-to-Screen initiative highlights eight Central European books.
- Festival runs July 3-11, 2026, in Karlovy Vary.
The industry strand of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) has revealed its selected titles for two key showcases. The KVIFF Central Stage will feature 11 films from established and emerging filmmakers across the region. These selected films are seeking crucial opportunities including co-production, financing, sales, distribution, and festival premieres.
The festival's new Book-to-Screen initiative, a collaboration with the Frankfurt Book Fair, will present eight books from Central and Eastern Europe. This program aims to discover literary works with strong screen potential, addressing a gap in IP development and rights management for the region's authors.
Both showcases will include interactive talks on the Film Industry Main Stage on July 6 and July 7, respectively. These events are designed to foster dialogue between filmmakers, producers, and publishers. The KVIFF industry strand aims to become a significant Central-Eastern European IP market.
The 60th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is scheduled to take place from July 3 to July 11, 2026. Participating projects in KVIFF Central Stage are eligible for exclusive post-production advantages and awards.
