The Oscar winner talks to The Hollywood Reporter at the Sarajevo Film Festival about his next film – and why the people of his native Iran deserve more than conflict: "I love them, I love that culture."

The three-time Oscar nominee delighted the crowd by reflecting on his colorful career, including the moment he "fucked up" by turning down Tom Cruise's role in 'Jerry Maguire.'

The Austrian filmmaker also touches on possibly casting a Hollywood name and why she is pragmatic about the future of European cinema: "I don't think culture is an 'added value,' a kind of luxury item. It's part of how a society understands itself."

This year's jury president and Honorary Heart recipient opens up about her decades-long devotion to the Bosnian festival: "It's [about] resistance, survival... Rather than a whole load of cynical sales agents."

The Sarajevo Film Festival competition title follows fatherless 11-year-old Adela, whose life is turned upside down when her sister is forced to have an arranged marriage: "Even when you don't see the man, you can feel the patriarchy."

‘Supporting Role,’ about a fading actor’s odyssey through Tbilisi, made it out just before industry censorship protests and a boycott of the state funding agency intensified: "I don't want to stop doing what I love."

The jury at this year's Sarajevo Film Festival included British actress Emily Watson, European Film Academy director Matthijs Wouter Knol and Yorgos Lanthimos' producer Athina Rachel Tsangari.

It marks Pitt's first visit to the Spanish film festival since he and Quentin Tarantino presented 'Inglourious Basterds' in 2009.

'House of Guinness,' 'Legends,' 'Being Gordon Ramsay' and 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' have also been picked up for more installments at Netflix.

The Irish actress, whose husband Jack Lowden is rumored to be up for 007, said it would be interesting "for girls and women, to see someone who can just take all that pent-up anger and direct it somewhere."
