The next recipient will be the Czech actress Daniela Kolářová, who will receive the President's Award of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The theme song of this year's 57th Karlovy Vary Film Festival reminds one of the guests of the international show, the American actor and producer Johnny Depp. The jingle, recorded by director Ivan Zachariáš, will be seen by the audience for the first time at the opening of the festival.
