At the upcoming Ponta Lopud Festival, one of the most celebrated actors today will hold lectures and workshops for regional professionals in the "Acting” category. 

Edward Norton is one of the most respected actors of his generation. He has starred in over 50 films, produced 13, written 5 and directed 2. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards (for Primal Fear, American History X & Birdman), 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards, 2 BAFTAs, 2 Golden Globes and has won a Golden Globe, an Emmy, an Obie and many other awards for his performances and productions. His leading masterclass will be attended by all participants of the Ponta Lopud Festival, whereas in the subsequent days, he will be working only with participants in the "Acting” category.

"I’ve been making films for 30 years and the large majority of what I’ve learned about the craft and art has come from talking to older filmmakers about the details of their experiences. We make films for audiences, yes. But we need each other to really learn the trade and I absolutely love the idea of a film festival for filmmakers”, said Edward Norton on the occasion of his participation in the third Ponta Lopud Festival.

"Ponta Lopud” is a creative hub where film professionals will have an opportunity to gain new experiences and create long-lasting professional relationships and friendships. In a serene and inspiring environment and the unique beauty of the island of Lopud, just a short boat ride from Dubrovnik, accompanied by local gastronomic delights, they will have a chance to talk about film, visual art and the art of living which has been practiced here for centuries.
