Two Czech films for main competition in Karlovy Vary

There will be two Czech films in the main competition at this year’s Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, organisers announced on Tuesday. Among the 12 films in contention for the Crystal Globe will be Winter Flies by the Prague-based Slovenian director Olmo Omerzu and Domestique, the debut feature from 28-year-old Adam Sedlák.

The country’s biggest film event runs this year from June 29 to July 7. It will be the 53rd edition of the Karlovy Vary IFF, which was first held in 1946.
