卡羅維發利國際電影節創辦於1946年，每年6、7月在捷克的卡羅維發利舉行。每屆電影節上都會放映來自世界各地的最新影片，同時也會舉辦各種音樂會、派對、新聞發布會等活動。卡羅維發利電影節現在已成為中東歐最具影響力的電影盛事，也是年代最久遠的A類電影節之一（與坎城電影節、柏林電影節、威尼斯電影節等屬於同一類別）。

第1屆卡羅維發利國際電影節
1st Karlovy Vary IFF
1946年二戰結束後，一群熱心於電影事業的電影人在瑪利亞溫泉和卡羅維發利兩地創辦了卡羅維發利電影節。第一屆電影節並不是競賽性質的，共有來自7個國家的影片參展。
The pre-war dream of many enthusiastic filmmakers materialized in 1946 when a non-competition festival of films from seven countries took place in Mariánské Lázně and Karlovy Vary.
自1947年第二屆開始，卡羅維發利國際電影節只在卡羅維發利舉行。卡羅維發利（捷克語：Karlovy Vary）是捷克西部波希米亞地區卡羅維發利州的一座溫泉城市，位於Ohře和Teplá2條河流的匯合處。卡羅維發利由神聖羅馬帝國皇帝、波西米亞國王查理四世於1370年下令建造。並以溫泉著稱，其中包括13個主溫泉，大約300個較小溫泉，以及熱水河Teplá。
The festival moved to Karlovy Vary in 1947. Karlovy Vary is a spa town situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá. It is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River).
1956年，國際電影聯合會（FIAPF）將卡羅維發利電影節選為國際A級電影節。
By 1956 FIAPF had already classified Karlovy Vary as a category A festival.
進入現代，卡羅維發利國際電影節參賽影片的質量日益提高，風格也日趨多元化，這些都提升了卡羅維發利電影節的形象，奠定了其世界優秀電影節的地位。
