The lights are about to go down, and the stars are getting ready to shine.
The 22nd Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF) will be held Nov. 14-24. SLIFF
will screen 330 films: 75 narrative features, 63 documentary features, and 192 shorts. This year's festival has 201 screenings/programs, with 54 countries represented.
The highlight of this year's fest is an appearance by Oscar-winning writer/director Oliver Stone, who will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, discuss his career, and screen his director's cut of "JFK" on Friday, Nov. 22, the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
The fest will host more than 100 filmmakers and related guests, including honorees Jon Jost (Lifetime Achievement Award), Arsen Anton Ostojic (Contemporary Cinema Award), Nina Davenport (Women in Film Award), and AJ Schnack (Charles Guggenheim Cinema St. Louis Award).
The festival will open on Thursday, Nov. 14, with the St. Louis premiere of "We Always Lie to Strangers," an extraordinary documentary on Branson, Mo., by AJ Schnack ("Kurt Cobain About a Son") and David Wilson (co-founder of the True/False Documentary Festival). The film premiered to great acclaim at SXSW and was featured at such major documentary fests as Toronto's Hot Docs and Full Frame.
Other prominent films featured in the festival include "August: Osage County", "The Invisible Woman", "Le Week-End", "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom", "Nebraska", "One Chance", "The Past" and "Philomena."
The fest schedule, ticket information, and a complete list of films (with descriptions) are available at the
