The light of my life at the Thermal Hotel

An independent film that is very intimate, produced by himself, he wrote a screenplay and portrayed one of the leading roles. The actor most famous for roles in dramas The Manchester by the Sea, Gone, Baby, Gone, or Ocean's Eleven, can't get enough of this event. He arrived in Karlovy Vary with actress Florian Lima and Anna Pniowsky, who played in the film.

“I think Karlovy Vary is one of the best places to hold a film festival. I highly recommend it everywhere,“

he admitted during the press conference, where he also spoke about his very first role:

“Our kindergarten was named after Rosa Parks, the hero of the civil rights struggle. She once came to visit and we played a theater for her. I played a lion, my costume fell during the performance, but I continued. Rosa then stroked me and praised me for roaring nicely like a lion,” Affleck said.

The actor, who has also directed himself, took over the Crystal Globe from the hands of Jiří Bartoška, President of the Festival, during his last visit. This year he enjoys local hospitality as a guest of honor.

“Two years ago I was here with the film A Ghost Story, which was quite experimental, and the audience was positive about it,” he praised.

Every year, during the festival, a luxury wine brand supports charity projects. This time they addressed Jitka Schneiderová to become their face and to start a toast of the annual charity event "Toast for a Good Thing".

“I am very happy that my beloved “Hledáme rodiče” was chosen this year, supporting foster care in our country,“ said the actress and added:

"More than 8,000 children are in institutional care right now. And every child has the right to grow up in a family when, for serious reasons, they can't be in their biological one.”

The event was attended by the President of the Festival, Jiří Bartoška, who drank with Jitka first.

The "Toast for a Good Thing" is a traditional ritual and philanthropic initiative that the legend of champagne brings to the KVIFF. For every famous person who will participate and drink to the health and fame of the Karlovy Vary festival, Moët & Chandon will contribute to the organization.

Luxury that helps

You will also contribute if you enjoy a Moët Impérial Champagne in the garden of the Grandhotel Pupp. Purchasing an elegant bottle of Moët Mini (20 cl) will bring to the Hledáme rodiče organization the equivalent to the KVIFF year, i.e. 54 CZK.

“I have been working with the non-profit organization Hledáme rodiče since its inception. I know how well and effectively they support foster families and foster care in our country. I admire the courage and devotion of parents, foster parents, as they take care of children, who for serious reasons cannot grow up in their original family. They are people who deserve our support and admiration,” says patroness Jitka Schneiderová.
