FNE at KVIFF 2017: See How the Critics Rated the Films

By FNE Staff

KARLOVY VARY: FNE has teamed up with FIPRESCI to organise a group of 20 critics attending KVIFF to rate the films in the Main Competition and the East of the West Competition giving the films 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars.

5 is the best and 1 is the worst. The ratings give an overview of critics’ opinions from a large number of countries and provide insights to what critics in many different countries think about the programme.

The DVDs also include exclusive bonus materials. These DVDs and many other restored classics of Czech film are also available at the NFA online e-shop.
