Actor, writer and director Jesse Eisenberg says he is getting Polish citizenship and wants to work more in Europe. He makes the remarks around his appearance at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic. Festival attendees welcome him with a large ovation, and Eisenberg is honored with the Karlovy Vary President’s Award before a screening of Richard Ayoade’s “The Double,” a film that is referenced as part of the festival programming around Eisenberg’s visit. Eisenberg also comments on his filmmaking plans, saying that in the United States the type of films he likes has become more difficult to make. The outlets describe his reception and the festival recognition as central to the event, while framing his citizenship update and European ambitions as part of a broader shift in where he hopes to direct and create work. The reports do not cite specific production projects, release dates, or official documentation details about the citizenship process. They focus instead on the public statements he makes at the festival and the recognition he receives there.
