The San Francisco International Film Festival has announced the lineup for its 53rd festival, running April 22 through May 6, 2010. Featuring 177 films from 46 countries in 31 different languages, the festival will bring “an inspired array of films from around the globe and a broad range of accompanying festivities.”
It all begins on April 22nd at the historic Castro Theatre with Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s “Micmacs,” the French director’s first film in five years, and will wrap up 15 days later with Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg’s acclaimed doc “Joan Rivers - A Piece of Work.” In between, Josh Radnor’s Sundance Audience Award winner “happythankyoumoreplease” will screen as the fest’s Centerpiece, while Walter Salles, Robert Duvall, James Schamus, Roger Ebert, and Don Hertzfeldt will all be feted at the festival.
Brazilian director Salles will receive the Founder’s Directing Award, and will additionally appear at the Sundance Kabuki Theatres Wednesday, April 28, at 6:45 pm for “An Evening with Walter Salles,” where the special onstage tribute will include a clip reel of career highlights, an interview and a screening of “In Search of On the Road (a Work in Progress)”, a compilation documentary about Salles’s years-long effort to make a documentary about Jack Kerouac.
The Peter J. Owens Award, honoring an actor whose work exemplifies brilliance, independence, and integrity, will be given to Duvall, who will be on hand at the Castro on Friday, April 30 at 7:30 pm for an onstage interview, retrospective film clips, and a screening of his latest film “Get Low.”
The Kanbar Award, honoring excellence in screenwriting, will be given to Schamus. On Saturday, May 1 at 1:00 pm at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas, Schamus, who received an Academy Award nomination for his work on Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” will participate in an onstage interview with critic and cultural theorist B. Ruby Rich, followed by a screening of the recently-completed director’s cut of Lee’s “Ride with the Devil.”
