Karlovy Vary Fest Adds Documentary ‘Lynch/Oz,’ Three World Premieres to Complete Lineup

The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival has completed its 2022 line-up, adding Alexandre O. Philippe’s documentary Lynch/Oz to its Out of the Past section and three new premieres to its Imagina sidebar.

Lynch/Oz, which premiered at Tribeca earlier this month, will have its European premiere at the Czech festival. Philippe’s documentary essay explores how the film classic The Wizard of Oz helped inspire and shape the work of David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet). Alexandre O. Philippe will attend Karlovy Vary to present the film on July 4. The festival will also screen The Wizard of Oz, Lynch’s Wild at Heart, and Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 sci-fi classic Back to the Future, all of which play a major role in the documentary.
