Hollywood actor and director Kristen Stewart has suggested she may relocate her filmmaking career to Europe, citing what she described as the 'terrifying' impact of proposed film industry tariffs under US President Donald Trump and the challenges of working freely within the current American cinematic landscape. Stewart's comments come as she promotes her critically acclaimed directorial debut, The Chronology of Water.

Stewart, 35, has spoken openly about the pressures facing filmmakers in the US, including political tensions and industry restrictions that she says could stifle creativity. Her decision to shoot The Chronology of Water in Latvia highlights the increasing appeal of European production environments for directors seeking both artistic freedom and financial support.
