Hollywood icon Edward Norton is confirmed to appear at the Ponta Lopud Film Festival on an idyllic island near Dubrovnik between June 20-24. The three-time Oscar-nominated star will be holding a masterclass for everyone involved in the event, before working specifically with a select group of eight actors from across former Yugoslavia.
Now in its third year, the festival takes place on Lopud, one of the Elaphiti Islands, a popular day-trip destination from Dubrovnik. Previous invitees have included Frances McDormand and Joel Coen of the Coen Brothers. Norton is best known for his starring roles in American History X and, most recently, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Also appearing will be Polish cinematographer Ula Pontikos, whose CV includes the much acclaimed feature, Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool.
