Oscar and Golden Globe winner Russell Crowe will receive the coveted Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema at this year’s Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The award-winning actor will also show off his musical talents with his band Indoor Garden Party, which will perform at the festival’s opening night concert.
In a special screening celebrating Crowe’s achievements, Karlovy Vary will present a twenty year anniversary screening of Peter Weir’s adventure film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), which won two Oscars from 10 nominations and earned Crowe a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Captain Aubrey.

This year’s new festival trailer, which will have its premiere at the opening ceremony of the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, stars actor Johnny Depp.
American actor, producer, and musician Johnny Depp – the recipient of three Oscar nominations, a Golden Globe, and countless other awards – was a guest of the 55th Karlovy Vary film festival in 2021, where he personally presented two films that he produced: the documentary Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan (2020) and the drama Minamata (2020), in which he played the lead. His visit was met with great interest on the part of audiences and fans.
Johnny Depp is the eighteenth person to appear in a trailer made especially for the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. It was directed by the widely acclaimed advertising and film director Ivan Zachariáš.
