It’s our fifth year of partnering with the California Film Institute and the Mill Valley Film Festival, and we are excited to present this guide to the event and whet your appetite for thrilling cinema. In these pages, founder/ executive director Mark Fishkin and director of programming Zoë Elton reveal what they value and anticipate most about MVFF today. Our regular writers Bernard Boo and Peter Crooks join Zack Ruskin, Kirsten Jones Neff and Emilie Rohrbach to bring stories on movies that showcase nature, are inspired by beloved books, give a glimpse of the future or feature music in a starring role. There’s also an intriguing piece on documentary film, a challenging quiz on local cinematic landmarks, a Q&A with Paul Dano and, of course, a complete schedule of every film to be screened. We hope you enjoy this guide to the festival’s 41st year as it celebrates the power of the silver screen.
