The 44th International film festival in Karlovy Vary kicked off last week with Czech-born director Miloš Forman being the major star. Speaking at a press conference marking the world premiere of his latest movie - A Walk Worthwhile - he said Czech film making is in a good shape and he is "amazed by the professionalism of the industry." A Walk Worthwhile is a re-creation of 1966 television version of the Gershwin-style musical by Jiří Suchý and late Jiří Šlitr.
