Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, and Vicky Krieps will also receive the President’s Award. Johnson will present her two latest films, Michael Angelo Covino’s hilarious “Splitsville” and Celine Song’s deconstructed rom-com “Materialists,” while Sarsgaard presents the underrated 2003 journalism drama “Shattered Glass” and Krieps her new drama “Love Me Tender.”

As previously announced, the festival will screen this new film from O’Connor and also a thriller starring Andrea Riseborough. It was also announced that the final entry playing in competition will be Iranian director Soheil Beiraghi’s “Bidad,” which had previously remained secret in order to “protect the safety of the film’s delegation” while they traveled out of the country.

The festival will also pay tribute to the late Jiří Bartoška, who previously served as the longtime president, by showing the film “We’ve Got to Frame It! (a conversation with Jiří Bartoška in July 2021),” hosting screenings of the film “Tiger Theory,” and with the exhibition “Jiří Bartoška – KVIFF President.”
