Written by SuchiJust a 2 hour (and 2 pounds!) bus ride west of the Golden City of Prague, the charming spa town of Karlovy Vary (also known as Karlsbad) is once again getting dressed up for its 43rd annual Karlovy Vary International Film Festival to take place July 4-July 12 2008.

For 33 pounds, you receive a pass for the entire 9-day festival, which includes tickets to 3 screening per day and discounts or free entry to a host of events–concerts, exhibitions, theatre, etc–surrounding the flurry of films. Or you can pay just over 2 pounds to catch an individual screening. Known as the Cannes of central Europe, this fabulous festival features world-renowned filmmakers and actors each year, and this summer, guests include acclaimed actors Christopher Lee and Robert DeNiro among many others.
