The internationally acclaimed Mill Valley Film Festival, greatly anticipated by film fans and film industry veterans alike, offers a high-profile, prestigious, noncompetitive environment that is perfect for celebrating the best of independent and world cinema. Considered by many to be a launching pad for the Oscar® campaign, this year's film festival promises to be no exception. One of the two Opening Night films to screen on Thursday, October 8th at the 32nd Mill Valley Film Festival is Scott Hicks (Shine, MVFF 1996) The Boys are Back. Based on a true story, The Boys are Back is a moving tale of fatherhood that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter (Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe winner Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: “just says yes.” Raising two boys - a curious six year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebel teen (George MacKay) from a previous marriage -- in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless . . . and on the constant verge of disaster. The film's star, Clive Owen, will be honored at a special MVFF Spotlight event where he will receive the Mill Valley Film Festival Award for his work in cinema. The Opening Night Gala will again take place this year at the Mill Valley Community Center, featuring a variety of gourmet dishes and live music. The Mill Valley Film Festival's rich heritage of showcasing the Bay Area's world-renowned filmmaking community continues this year with a plethora of films either shot in the Bay Area or from locally based filmmakers; check their website for complete schedule.
