The Big Picture Less than two weeks remain until Eastern Europe's prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival kicks off its 2024 iteration, and it appears the stars are bound for the Czech Republic. A stacked lineup of guests and honorees was announced that will appear at the 58th edition of the festival, several of whom will host special screenings and workshops with attendees.
Aerofilms CEO Ivo Andrle was thrilled at the notion of bringing Mortensen's The Dead Don't Hurt to Czech audiences ahead of its wider release in the country. The film showcases all the acclaimed actor's skills, from his screen presence opposite Vicky Krieps to his eye as a director, writer, and producer, and his ear as a composer. Andrle said of the occasion:
Steven Soderbergh, Nicole Holofcener, Michel Franco, and More to Appear at KVIFF Close As announced with the official film selections last month, KVIFF 2024 will accompany its celebrations of Eastern European cinema with a retrospective of legendary author Franz Kafka. Several films relating to his work and life will be screened at the festival, including Steven Soderbergh's biopic/mystery thriller Kafka as well as his re-edited and vastly different version Mr. Kneff.
Everything kicks off for the KVIFF on June 28 and runs through July 6. More information about the festival is available on its official website.
