Charli XCX's activities during TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival)

In the world of independent cinema, American filmmaker Pete Ohs continues to make a name for himself with his distinctive, experimental style. Known for his multifaceted roles as director, screenwriter, cinematographer, editor, and sometimes actor or producer, Ohs' latest project, "Erupcja" (also known as "Eruption"), is generating excitement due to its collaboration with pop sensation Charli XCX.

Background and Style

Ohs' versatility is evident in his films, as he typically takes on multiple roles behind the scenes. His unique visual approach, strong character development, and a blend of humour and melancholy are signature elements of his work. He is part of a new wave of American independent filmmakers who often produce their projects with minimal budgets and small crews.

Erupcja / Eruption

"Erupcja" is a 2025 film featuring Charli XCX in a leading role. Details about the plot are scarce, as the film is relatively new. Charli XCX, known internationally as a musician and songwriter, often ventures into acting.

In "Erupcja", Pete Ohs is not only directing but, as with his other projects, is likely to take on additional responsibilities such as cinematography and editing. This collaboration is particularly intriguing for fans of independent and music films, as Ohs' visually original style and Charli XCX's pop cultural presence converge in this project.

Warsaw Connection

"Erupcja" is a new-wave-inspired film set in Warsaw, Poland. Bethany, a British character played by Charli XCX, is lured to the city by a past love, Nel, played by Lena Góra. Nel runs a local flower shop in the film.

Festival Circuit

Charli XCX is one of the busiest stars on the prestigious fall festival circuit this year. In addition to "Erupcja", she is starring in another film premiering at the Venice Film Festival on September 6. She is also set to appear in two features debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.

Charli XCX's Letterboxd account, which is public, does not include a review or rating for Ingmar Bergman's "Autumn Sonata". She frequently shares TikTok videos about her viewing habits.
