Karlovy Farley Film Festival is one of the oldest film festivals in the world. 1946 after the end of world war ii, a group of filmmakers who are enthusiastic about the film industry founded the Karlovy Farley Film Festival in Maria Hot Springs and karlovy vary. The first film festival was not a competition, with films from seven countries participating. In the first few film festivals, in order to "take care of" the new films in our country, Czechoslovakia local films won most awards. Then1February, 948, with the Czechoslovak * * * production party gaining political power in Czechoslovakia, the film festival began to be hosted by the Czechoslovak National Film Department.

After Jay * * came to power, the film festival needs to serve the publicity of * * to a great extent. So that whether it is the selection of participating films, the award, or the invitation of participating guests, we must follow this principle. Therefore, in the following decades, most of the awards of the film festival were won by films produced in socialist countries. This principle is also reflected in the holding of film festivals to some extent. From 1946 to 1958, except 1953 and 1955, a film festival is held once a year. However, after 1959, because the Soviet Union founded the Moscow International Film Festival, in order to hold it alternately, the Karlovy Farley Film Festival was held every two years until 1994. However, during this period, many western films participated in the film festival, and with the passage of time, many excellent works appeared at the film festival.

1989 velvet revolution completely changed this situation. At 1990 Karlovy Farley Film Festival, a number of Czech films previously banned were allowed to be shown at the film festival. In the following sessions, the participation of many internationally renowned filmmakers, especially milos Furman, a famous Czech director who was forced into exile in the United States because of the Prague Spring, greatly improved the popularity and popularity of the film festival. In the next few years, the quality of the participating films is becoming more and more perfect, and the styles are becoming more and more diversified, which enhances the image of Karlovy Farley Film Festival and establishes its position as an excellent film festival in the world. The main activity of the film festival is the feature film competition. According to the regulations of the International Film Federation, participating feature films are not allowed to participate in other international film festivals in advance. Another important part is the documentary competition. At the same time, the film festival also provides many screening and competition opportunities for independent films from various countries.
