Blood and gore was the theme of the opening night of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, devised by brothers Michael and Simon Caban. The aim was to evoke gothic films from the silent era - accompanied by the ranks of the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra. On stage, left, is Festival President Jiří Bartoška.
