This year’s 55th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival has been postponed from early July to August 20-28, 2021.

“Moving the festival’s dates back by seven weeks will offer the best chance of holding this cultural event closer to the extent that audiences and festivalgoers have become accustomed to,” the festival said. KVIFF’s artistic director Karel Och commented: “Moving the dates of the 55th festival does not mean a long-term change in the Karlovy Vary festival’s traditional slot, the festival’s 56th edition will return to its usual time, meaning from 1 to 9 July 2022.”
