Karlovy Vary Film Festival to show new films by Josh O’Connor, Andrea Riseborough
The next film by Josh O’Connor “Rebuilding” will be screened as part of the Karlovy International Film Festival Vary 2025 as well as multiple worldwide, Kviff organizers announced on Tuesday.
The festival announced 11 films in its Crystal Globe Competition section, but added that the section will include a 12th film from Iran. The artistic director Karel Osh said in a statement that the announcement of this final functionality was postponed until the festival was put into consideration for “the security of its creators”.
“Rebuilding”, which makes its first international at the festival, plunges us into the life of a breeder (O’Connor) whose ranch has been destroyed in a forest fire and must now collect the pieces of his life. It is written and directed by Max Walker-Silverman, who previously made his debut with the delicate drama “A Love Song” in 2022. “Rebuilding” was previously presented to this year film Film Festival and should be released in theaters later this year.
Paul Andrews’ dragonfly “dragonfly” with Andrea Riseborough also played with Paul Andrew Williams.
The Karlovy International Film Festival Vary began in 1946 and is now considered the first film festival in central and eastern Europe. This year’s edition, which takes place from July 4 to 12, is the 59th Kviff and will mark the first year since the death of the president and actor of the Jiří Bartoška festival, who died in early May after playing in the role since 1994.
