The Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival will honor actress, director and screenwriter Maggie Gyllenhaal and actor, director and screenwriter Jesse Eisenberg at its 60th edition, which runs July 3-11.

Artistic director Karel Och said, “Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jesse Eisenberg are distinguished by a certain ‘trans-Atlantic’ sensitivity. Their work as actors and directors has the ability to connect the New World and Europe while drawing on the most essential elements of both traditions. The humor of New York intellectuals is combined with wisdom, talent and an original way of seeing the world.”
