The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and the Moser glassworks go inherently hand in hand. Using traditional methods, our glassmakers make the festival’s awards: the Crystal Globes.
After nearly a quarter century, the award underwent a transformation this year. Upon the festival’s request, both its height and weight were reduced. The original statue was 42 cm tall, while the new one is only 34.5 cm. And it once weighed 4.4 kg, but now only 2.6 kg. Also, the diameter of the crystal ball went from 11.5 cm to 9.1 cm. Now the award will be easier to hold and no one will struggle under its weight.
The film awards have become not only a symbol of the festival but also the star of its famous signature trailers. We already saw everything you can do with the award in the humorous video mini-stories featuring multiple winners, including actors and directors such as Danny DeVito, Andy Garcia, Jude Law, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mel Gibson, Zdeněk Svěrák, Miloš Forman, Věra Chytilová, and Jiří Menzel. This year, American actor and producer Benicio del Toro added his name to those above.
