Actors Dustin Hoffman, Juliette Binoche and Jeffrey Wright, and cinematographer Robert Richardson will be honored at the 60th Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival.
Hoffman will be presented with the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema at the opening ceremony. Binoche will receive the Crystal Globe with the same title at the closing ceremony. Richardson will receive the same award, but during the festival, and Wright will receive the President’s Award, again during the festival.
The festival will screen Hoffman’s breakthrough film, “The Graduate,” which earned Mike Nichols an Academy Award for best director, and was nominated for Oscars in six other categories. The festival will also screen three of Binoche’s films, “Certified Copy” (2010), “Three Colors: Blue” (1993) and “In-I in Motion” (2025), as well as Wright’s “Basquiat” (1996).
Richardson will join director Jana Hojdová in presenting the documentary portrait “Robert Richardson: The White Devil.” Richardson was Oscar nominated for “Platoon” (1986), “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989), “Snow Falling on Cedars” (2000), “Inglourious Basterds” (2010), “Django Unchained” (2012), “The Hateful Eight” (2015) and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (2019). He won Oscars for “JFK” (1992), “The Aviator” (2004) and “Hugo” (2011).
Also attending the festival will be actor Harvey Keitel, who will join a screening of Martin Scorsese’s “Mean Streets.” It is the third time he has visited the festival. At its 39th edition in 2004, Keitel was awarded a Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema.
Among other star guests, Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon will present their horror-comedy “Family Movie” at the festival. The film, co-directed by Bacon and Sedgwick and starring them and their children, Travis and Sosie Bacon, had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, where Variety declared it “a bloody good time.”
The festival will open with the Argentinian-Spanish documentary “The Match,” directed by Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco. The film chronicles the 1986 soccer World Cup match between Argentina and England. “One of the most captivating movies at this year’s Cannes proves that certain iconic moments from sports history can touch the very essence of human existence,” KVIFF’s artistic director Karel Och said.
The 60th edition will close with Noah Segan’s melancholic crime drama “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,” which stars John Turturro as an old-school pickpocket who finds himself in a dangerous race against time through the city’s streets.
