Karlovy Vary lineup on a quest for love230 films skedded for the fest |

The Karlovy Vary Film Festival will highlight emerging directors making striking statements about the struggle for meaning and love, organizers said Tuesday, rolling out the list of 15 films competing for the Crystal Globe.
With 230 films, including 14 world preems and 39 European preems skedded for the fest, which takes over the sleepy West Bohemian spa town of Karlovy Vary for nine days, even more fans will be joining the usual pilgrimage to the cinemas of the communist-era Hotel Thermal.
The focus is far from star vehicles, said fest's Julieta Zacharova, calling the entrants "very strong filmmakers with very strong stories," many of which tend to turn on family relationships and "characters in search of happiness."
Juried by the likes of Czech actor Karel Roden, New York's MoMA curator Laurence Kurdish and Steven SoderberghSteven Soderbergh scribe Coleman HoughColeman Hough ("Full Frontal""Full Frontal" and "Bubble"), the films seem in sync with an increasingly progressive agenda at the 41st Karlovy Vary.
Fest artistic director Eva Zaoralova said the collection "should represent the countries," adding the films provide auds with a rare chance to see work otherwise nearly impossible to find in Central Europe.
Among the competition films generating buzz are the Czech Republic's "Beauty in Trouble," a noirish love triangle penned by helmer Jan Hrebejk's longtime scribe Petr Jarchovsky; "Love Talk," set in a dream-like Los Angeles by Korean helmer Lee Yoon-Ki; "Destiny," Argentinean helmer Miguel Pereira's tale about a fugitive adopting a new identity; and "Transit," a Russian WWII flier tale by Alexander Rogozhkin.
The docudocu competition looks equally diverse, with nine entries in the over-30-minutes category with subjects ranging from Brazilian cattle callers to the siege of Leningrad, via Slovak Carpathian minorities.
The under-30-minute group, with 10 docs, explore Sufism in Pakistan, house selling in the shadow of Prague Castle and the 90-year-old Spanish expressionist Uwe Grumman.
Fest's guest list includes Matthew Barney, screening his art cycle "Cremaster"; Luc BessonLuc Besson, presenting "Angel-A"; and Terry GilliamTerry Gilliam, unspooling "Tideland."
South Korea's Kim Ki-duk, a perennial fest favefave, will open the event June 30 with the preempreem of his noncompeting film "Time," setting the tone for another preem, Brazilian Andrucha Waddington's "House of Sand."
The new Crystal Globe category East of the West, featuring films from the former East Bloc, preems Milena Andonova's Bulgarian film "Monkeys in Winter" and "Tomorrow Morning" by Oleg Novkovic of Serbia-Montenegro.
As usual, 10 of Europe's most distinctive talents will get exposure in the Variety Critics' Choice: Europe Now! sidebar, including helmer Steen Agro and his Czech/U.K. comic caper film "Shut Up and Shoot Me."
Six debuts unspoolunspool in this section, co-sponsored by European Film Promotion and the European Union's Media program, all intended to nurture promising talent.
