🇵🇱 Jesse Eisenberg told the 60th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival he was days away from becoming a Polish citizen, and that the kind of films he loves are “increasingly difficult to make” in the United States. He was there to collect the festival’s President’s Award, and he used the platform to argue that the economics have flipped: European public funding and co-production structures now support the mid-budget, director-led work that American studios have abandoned. ㅤ Eisenberg wrote and directed A Real Pain, which won an Oscar for Kieran Culkin, and he has been shooting in Poland for years. His Polish citizenship traces through family history, and the move is not symbolic. It is a working filmmaker relocating his production base to where the money for his kind of movie actually lives. ㅤ cinemaoccupy ㅤ #jewishpeople #JesseEisenberg #poland
