The stars will be out in full force to help the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) celebrate its 60th edition in its 80th year this year. Dustin Hoffman, Juliette Binoche and legendary cinematographer Robert Richardson will receive this year’s Crystal Globes for outstanding artistic contributions to world cinema, while Jeffrey Wright will be honored with KVIFF’s President’s Award.
For its double anniversary, which runs July 3-11, the Czech festival previously also booked Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jesse Eisenberg as President’s Award honorees.
“At the opening ceremony of this year’s 60th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema will be presented to legendary actor Dustin Hoffman, winner of two Academy Awards, five Golden Globes, four BAFTA Awards, and many other accolades,” KVIFF organizers said on Tuesday. “Besides honoring Dustin Hoffman with a Crystal Globe, the Karlovy Vary festival will also be showing his breakthrough film The Graduate, directed by Mike Nichols and based on the novel of the same name by Charles Webb. The film earned Nichols an Academy Award for best director, was nominated for Oscars in six other categories, and also took home five Golden Globes and five BAFTA Awards.”
