The most significant film event in Central and Eastern Europe? This phrasing is obviously POV, and should be removed. Encyclopedia cannot determine which event is the most "prestigious". It is hard to contend that Berlin Film Festival, for example, is a more prestigious Central European event than Karlovy Vary. In Eastern Europe, the Moscow Film Festival has traditionally been viewed as the most prestigious: look at the list of its guests. Cannot this article do without the touristy and megalomaniac phrases? --Ghirlandajo 10:33, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps this phrasing will be acceptable: "For the Czechs, the Karlovy Vary festival has become the most significant film event in Central and Eastern Europe". --Ghirlandajo 10:33, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

• The term Central Europe is used (mostly) for the countries Poland, Czech rep., Hungary, Slovakia and few more, ...Germany is mostly considered the West. So the Berlin Fest is in the west Europe.
• You wrote: "in Eastern Europe, the Moscow Film Festival has traditionally been viewed as the most prestigious" .........for whom? for Russians? Maybe in the times of your rule in the eastern block (because everybody HAD TO "view" it so), but not now.
• You wrote: look at the list of it´s guests .....look at the list of guests in KV first
• You say, that encyclopedia cannot determine which event is the most prestigious, but you don´t forget to change the site to "after Moscow film festival"
• You no even knew, that KV festival is "A" category but you are not afraid of comparing it with others.

• You should do something with the site of MIFF instead of removing things from here, Szalas
