Karlovy Vary’s Industry Section Unveils New KVIFF Central Stage Showcase To Spotlight Central European Co-Production
DeadlineMonday, June 23, 2025 at 12:01:06 PM
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is shaking things up this year with a fresh showcase called KVIFF Central Stage, designed to put the spotlight on Central European co-productions. Fourteen film projects from eight countries—ranging from early development to near completion—will get a chance to attract funding and collaborators. Big names like Andreas Horvath and László Nemes are in the mix, making this a must-watch for industry players hunting for the next standout project.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another festival sidebar—it’s a strategic move to boost visibility for Central European filmmakers who often struggle to break into the global market. By creating a dedicated space for co-productions, Karlovy Vary is helping bridge gaps in funding and distribution, which could lead to more diverse voices hitting screens worldwide. For cinephiles, it’s a sneak peek at future gems; for producers, it’s a goldmine of untapped talent.
