Karlovy Vary film festival concludes with awards ceremony

The 47th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival concludes on Saturday with an awards ceremony at the Thermal Hotel. The Crystal Globe awards will be handed to the creators of the winning film and the winners of individual categories. US actress Susan Sarandon is set to receive an award for her contribution to world cinema. More then 11,000 people attended the festival which offered over 200 movies, 23 of them in world premieres. The news agency ČTK reported on Saturday many critics and guests at the festival were disappointed with the main competition this year which included films with brutal and naturalist scenes better suited for an independent film event.
