Febiofest to open with Karel Gott documentary

The Prague film festival Febiofest will open with a documentary about Karel Gott, the organisers said on Tuesday. Entitled simply Karel, the film by Olga Malířová Špátová captures the late singer on tour at home and abroad.

The festival was due to take place in the spring but was postponed because of the Covid-19 situation. The organisers have also announced a tribute to director Jiri Menzel, who died at the weekend at the age of 82. Febiofest begins on September 18.
