2018 Mill Valley Film Festival Underway

MILL VALLEY, CA – As one of the premiere film festivals in the world, the Mill Valley Film Festival is a place to be and a place to be seen — well, of course, to enjoy cinema at its best with friends, families, and movie lovers from around the world. And for a very good reason: The film festival prides itself with a reputation for launching new films and creating awards season chatter.

This year marks the 41st anniversary of the film festival. The event kicked off on Thursday, Oct. 4, with two powerhouse dramas: “A Private War,” Matthew Heineman’s film about the celebrated war correspondent Marie Colvin, starring Rosamund Pike — and — “Green Book,” Peter Farrelly’s road-trip movie about two polar opposites traveling the deep south, starring Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen.

Throughout the 11-day film festival, a series of tributes and spotlights celebrates exceptional artists including Carey Mulligan, Paul Dano, Alfonso Cuaron, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amandla Stenberg, Joel Edgerton, Karyn Kusama, Richard E. Grant, and Pawel Pawlikowski.

Special guests include Rosamund Pike, Matthew Heineman, Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen, Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Barry Jenkins, Anna Paquin, Denis O’Hare, and Stephen Moyer.

The film festival runs from Oct. 4 through Oct 14. For more information on the 41st MVFF, visit the festival's website (mvff.com).
