'Guitar' to premiere at Karlovy Vary

Nick Nolte documentary 'Exit' will also bow

Amy Redford's directorial debut "The Guitar" will have its international premiere at the Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival, which runs July 4-12.

Nick Nolte will be in attendance for the world premiere of doc "Nick Nolte -- No Exit." Filmmaker Tom Thurman asked Nolte to dissect himself in the film, with the thesp questioning himself rather than talking to an interviewer. Film also features testimonies by Nolte's friends and collaborators Ben Stiller, Paul Mazursky, Jacqueline Bisset, Rosanna Arquette, Mike Medavoy and Alan Rudolph

In all, some 40 world, international and European premieres, plus over 200 Czech debuts, will unspool in the resort town.
