Bacon Family Takes Karlovy Vary by Storm

Hollywood power couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, alongside their son Travis, recently transformed the picturesque town of Karlovy Vary into a vibrant family affair. They presented their collaborative film, "Family Movie," at the 60th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, drawing a large and enthusiastic crowd.

"We are so excited to share this movie with you, and it's a dream come true to be here," Sedgwick expressed following a warm reception. Kevin Bacon added, "It is our first time in the Czech Republic, and we're having a blast." He highlighted Travis's multifaceted role in the film, noting his acting contribution and original music composition.

The family delighted the Czech audience with a surprise demonstration of their newly acquired language skills, exchanging pleasantries in Czech. This gesture was met with significant applause and cheers, underscoring their connection with the festival-goers. The central message conveyed was a heartfelt wish for the audience to enjoy the film as much as the family cherishes their own bond.

"Family Movie" is a unique horror-comedy that had its world premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival. The synopsis describes a filmmaking family encountering a real-life horror scenario when a murder occurs on the set of their slasher film, forcing them to conceal the crime to ensure production continues.

This year's KVIFF, celebrating a double anniversary, has attracted numerous esteemed figures from the film industry, including Jesse Eisenberg, Jeffrey Wright, Juliette Binoche, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Harvey Keitel, Robert Richardson, and Dustin Hoffman.
