(Minghui.org) Practitioners introduced Falun Dafa to visitors at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on July 4 and 5, 2025. They also raised awareness about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) human rights violations in China.

The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival was held in the Czech Republic on July 4 and 5, 2025. It is one of the country’s most significant cultural events, drawing thousands of visitors each year, including prominent figures from the film industry.

Falun Dafa practitioners set up an informational booth in the city, offering the public an opportunity to sign a petition calling attention to the CCP’s ongoing human rights abuses in China.

Falun Dafa practitioners set up a booth and collected signatures.

The booth was located in a quiet, shaded area, where passersby could receive flyers, talk with practitioners, and sign the petition. The event was calm and respectful. Practitioners told people about Falun Dafa’s core principles—Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance—and about the CCP’s persecution.

At each of the four tables, there were nearly always people signing the petition. Some visitors came with the intention to show support, stating they already knew about the situation and did not require further explanation. One such visitor, the director of an advertising agency, offered additional help by proposing to assist with the printing of informational materials. A well-known actor also visited the booth and signed the petition, expressing genuine interest and support.

The event included several moving moments. One man joined practitioners when they meditated. Despite finding the movements challenging, he persevered and later said he felt “a truly strong energy.” Other visitors, including a person who believes in Christianity, engaged in deeper discussions about faith and how to help others.
