| 2008: A Musical Odyssey at Karlovy Vary |
| 01 July 2008 | By Karlovy Vary Press Release |
The festival section "2008: A Musical Odyssey" will offer a diverse and topical convergence of music and film this year, from music videos to the more than three-hour presentation of The First Emperor from the New York Metropolitan Opera House. A powerful visual and musical experience will be offered by the road movie Sigur Rós: Heima, in which the Icelandic post-rock stars perform in the open air amid the scenery of their native island. In the biopic Scott Walker: 30 Century Man the testimonies of David Bowie, Brian Eno and Alison Goldfrapp paint a portrait of the cult singer shrouded in mystery. American director Ethan Higbee will be coming to present his one-of-a-kind documentary about the man who produced Bob Marley and invented the remix, seventy-year old reggae classic and mad genius Lee Scratch Perry.  Other films deal with the British utopian Cornelius Cardew and the free spirit of the New Wave, New Yorker Arthur Russell, who died of AIDS in the early 1990's. The section will be topped off by the variety show Music Video - Another Body, enlightened, image hybrid creatures that are something between man and woman, human and demon, singer and rabbit (Antony & The Johnsons, Bjork, Peaches, Bonnie Prince Billy, Animal Collective, and others). These have been specially prepared for the Karlovy Vary festival by the music section's programmer, Pavel Klusák. |

FNE Ambassador for Poland
"For me its very very useful, I receive and read it every day. It is very useful to know what's going on in the region and it was previously an undiscovered area. FNE is doing a very good job. FNE informs us about not only film but also TV and production. Very often I am using some subjects from FNE in my TV programme"
