There is a strong slate of international films, including some strong American works.
as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, starting Aug. 31.Since last year’s installment, two of the festival’s quartet of visionary co-founders have died: Bill Pence, 82, and Tom Luddy, 79. Since SAG-AFTRA went on strike in July, questions have dogged the fall film festival circuit about whether actors would be able, or willing, to promote films from the studios represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
“Both Tom and Bill would have been delighted with this thing,” said Huntsinger. “It’s like they made a recipe that we keep on cooking and what has evolved are the ingredients. But the way we put the ingredients together is super tried and true. I’m happy to say that we’re seeing a return to more provocative cinema because, you know, I always say we just reflect what’s out there. There’s nothing we can do once the films are made. We choose what we believe are the best.
With their first feature film, filmmaking couple Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin tell the story of long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad, the open-water record breaker, starring Annette Bening as Nyad and Jodie Foster as her dear friend and coach. If an early email in my inbox from a vociferous Nyad-record denier is any indication, expect some controversy to trail the film like a shark.
Given the labor disputes in Hollywood, the festival has been mum about which actors may or may not attend. The list of directors, however, is muscular — not a surprise for a festival where the A-list has always prioritized auteurs. The festival and director Alexander Payne continue a love affair with “The Holdovers.” The dramatic comedy about prep school kids with nowhere to go features Paul Giamatti as the teacher they’re left to deal with. Multihyphenate Ethan Hawke will attend as both a featured director and guest programmer. “Wildcat,” his drama about the writer Flannery O’Connor and her first published novel, stars Maya Hawke , Laura Linney and Liam Neeson.
