Star power doesn't hurt when it comes to getting people out to a film festival, and the crew over at AFI-Dallas has certainly recognized that. The festival announced this morning that it will present its Star Award to festival attendees Helen Hunt, Mickey Rooney, Todd Wagner and Charlize Theron. Jack Lemmon will also receive the award, accepted by his widow, Felicia Farr. Ms. Hunt will be in town to show her directorial debut, Then She Found Me, which will open the festival on Thursday, March 27 at the Majestic Theatre downtown. Mr Rooney will also accept his award that night and be on hand for a 70th anniversary screening of Boy's Town. Ms. Theron will accept her award at the closing-night screening of her film Battle in Seattle (directed by her longtime boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, who will be onhand) at the AMC NorthPark on April 5. Co-star Woody Harrelson is also scheduled to attend. |

Locally produced film "Karma Police," directed by John Venable, and starring a bucket-load of local talent, will also be featured at AFI. Yay!

Where do you get the film line-up? I have been checking the afidallas.com website all day, and it is not posted.

Think the best element of AFI will be the screening of the Wizard of Oz with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra playing the music live. What a treat!
