The 50th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival closed with an awards ceremony on Saturday night. The Crystal Globe for best film went to the Hungarian film It's Not the Time of My Life, shot by the director Szabolcs Hajdu in his own home with the members of his own family and his friends.         The film, an intimate study of two families forced to share an unusual apartment, impressed the jury with its taut performances and inventive production. The director, who also stars in the movie, which draws faithfully on the work of John Cassavetes and Ingmar Bergman, also picked up a best actor award for his role. Hungarian film-making industry is only one of the fields, which welcomes foreign investors, who can also use the benefits of the Hungarian Residency Program.   Zuzana Mauréry received the Best Actress Award for the film The Teacher by Jan Hřebejk. The audience's prize went to the American movie Captain Fantastic. The prize for the best film of the East of the West Competition was awarded to a quasi-autobiographical debut by a Georgian director Rusudan Glurjidze House of Others and the Grand Prix for Best Documentary Film went to LoveTrue by an Israeli director Alma Har'el. Czech actress Jiřina Bohdalová and American screenwriter and director Charlie Kaufman received The Festival President’s Award.( Photo:Anton_Ivanov / Shutterstock.com)
