Initial Glimpse of Riley Keough in Albert Serra's Out of This World

      Following one of the standout films of the decade with *Pacifiction* and a top documentary of this year with *Afternoons of Solitude*, Albert Serra is already in post-production on his upcoming feature, *Out of This World*. The film, led by Riley Keough and featuring F. Murray Abraham, Evgenyia Gromova, and Liza Yankovskaia, has had its first image disclosed by Variety.

      The synopsis reads: “*Out of This World* centers on an American delegation visiting Russia amid the Ukrainian war, as they strive to address a growing economic conflict. The project explores the long-standing rivalry between Russia and the United States, combining Serra’s unique cinematic style with a gripping contemporary geopolitical story.”

      It has also been disclosed that Serra recorded approximately 800 hours of footage during a four-week shoot in Latvia this past summer. The film is produced by Les Films du Losange, Idéale Audience Group, and Andergraun Films, in collaboration with Felix Culpa, and co-produced by Rosa Filmes and Pandora Film. A return to Cannes for the director is anticipated.

      Serra discussed the project with us in 2024, stating, “It’s very significant, but it’s also a contentious topic since it involves Russia, the United States, and their perpetual rivalry. However, like all my films, it’s both quite serious and slightly whimsical.”
