The Maria Callas biopic “Maria” will continue its fall festival rollout at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles.

The film will be shown on Oct. 26 in a red carpet premiere.

“Maria” is directed by Pablo Larraín and stars Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas. The movie tells the story of one of the world’s most renowned artists and reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days in Paris. The film also stars Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Haluk Bilginer and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

The new film made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and has screened at the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. It is also set to screen at the New York Film Festival and London Film Festival later this month. The film has already rave reviews for Angelina Jolie and is getting Oscar buzz for her performance.

“Maria” will debut on Netflix in the fall.
