AB 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.
