Future Frames is a next generation showcase comprised of short works by students and recent graduates of European film schools, curated by the Karlovy Vary Fest in cooperation with European Film Promotion. The selected directors and their films will be introduced on-site to Karlovy Vary audiences.

However, it’s online, where the films are archived following their TV premiere, that the youth-targeted project has really prospered.
