The 53rd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival will pay tribute to the late Oscar-winning Czech-born director Milos Forman and screen his Loves of a Blonde as the opening film on June 29, festival president Jiri Bartoska (right) told a press conference today, on Monday, April 23, 2018. Czech actor Jaromir Hanzlik, 70, will receive the festival's president award. The organisers presented the festival logo, traditionally designated by Studio Najbrt (at left Ales Najbrt), which consists of two film clips in black-and-white colours as a symbol of cinematography's transition from celluloid to digitisation. The festival trailer's protagonist is Casey Affleck, a U.S. Oscar-winning actor who was presented with the Karlovy Vary Festival president's award last year. This year's budget of the festival to be held in the west Bohemian spa town of Karlovy Vary on June 29-July 7 will be some 140 million crowns. Forman, living in the USA from the late 1960s, died in hospital near his American home in Connecticut after a short illness on April 13 at the age of 86 years. Festival artistic adviser Eva Zaoralova said the film Loves of a Blonde (Lasky jedne plavovlasky, 1965) "tells a lot about the period that catapulted Forman to fame." (CTK Photo/Michal Kamaryt)
