Theme Articles
The illusory revival process of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. XVI. Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (1968) in the reflection of the contemporary press
Jakub Jiřiště
Iluminace 2014, 26(1):9-38
The study is devoted to the changes in the concept and program of the Karlovy Vary IFF in the crucial year 1968 and the attempts of the representatives of the film circles and the Communist Party to create a new, "revolutionary", ideologically progressive face of the festival in the context of the revival process in Czechoslovakia and international events. The author traces how the vision of the festival concept and dramaturgy changed during 1967 in response to the generally perceived crisis of film festivals, the ongoing reforms and the interests of the individual actors involved in the festival.
From Cannes via Karlovy Vary to West Berlin and Venice. International film festivals in the turbulent year of 1968
Caroline Moine
Iluminace 2014, 26(1):39-48
The translated text by the French theoretician Caroline Moine deals with the international film festivals in Cannes, Karlovy Vary, Berlin and Venice in the turbulent year of 1968 and is interesting for its different hypotheses and different view of the same issues than the previous text by the Czech author.
Are film festivals really a valid distribution platform? The institution of the film festival from the perspective of the distributor of "festival" films
Přemysl Martinek
Iluminace 2014, 26(1):49-64
The text focuses on festivals as an "alternative distribution circuit" for art films. The author's perspective and his conclusions are influenced by the position of the practitioner, the film distributor, which is useful for understanding the real functioning of film festivals for cinematic practice. The author subjects some abstract and automatically accepted concepts to a revision in order to show how Czech (but also world) festivals can or cannot concretely help the circulation of films, and thus filmmaking itself, and how the growth of specialized screenings, digitization and the way of financing affect classical cinema distribution.

Using the example of two festivals of independent animation, PAF Olomouc and Fest Anča in Žilina, the study shows the important community (educational, promotional, motivational) role such festivals can play and thus provides an analysis of the specific function of festivals within local cinemas.
