50th Karlovy Vary IFF (3-11.07.2015): Heat & Heavenly Nomadic from Kyrgyzstan
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Czech Republic and the most prestigious such festival in Central and Eastern Europe. It is one of the oldest A-list film festivals (i.e., non-specialized festivals with a competition for feature-length fiction films), a category it shares with the festivals in Cannes, Berlin, Venice, San Sebastian, Moscow, Montreal, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Among filmmakers, buyers, distributors, sales agents, and journalists, KVIFF is considered the most important event in all of Central and Eastern Europe.
Two films made in Kyrgyzstan will be shown at Karlovy Vary IFF.
Heat / Znoy
Directed by: Larisa Shepitko A low horizon outlining the bleak steppe, the sun beating down from a vast, arching sky, and the great drama that unfolds as the dusk sets in – this is the setting chosen by the talented filmmaker, then aged 25, for her debut Heat, which depicts the conflict between two very different characters, only one of whom truly seeks to accomplish something worthwhile.
Heavenly Nomadic / Sutak
Directed by: Mirlan Abdykalykov
