Our festival offers something to suit every filmgoer’s taste – from escapist comedies and edge-of-your-seat thrillers to deeply moving dramas and eye-opening documentaries� We are most proud of the fact that our festival is widely regarded throughout the industry as the festival that screens the most submissions to the Best International Feature Film category of the Academy Awards®� This year, once again, we’re bringing you a large selection of those films in our Awards Buzz program� No festival would be complete without a taste of Hollywood, so we invite you to don your finest attire and celebrate with us in person as we kick off the festival with this year’s Film Awards on Thursday, January 4 at the Palm Springs Convention Center, where we will be honoring some of the biggest A-list movie stars and filmmakers in the world� It is the only event in the valley where you can celebrate among Hollywood’s best and brightest, see the glitz and glamour of the red carpet with stars like Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Greta Gerwig and more Oscar® hopefuls, and enjoy a fabulous dinner in our elegantly decorated ballroom� And all for a good cause, raising more than $2�5 million for the Palm Springs International Film Society’s year-round mission� I want to thank our title sponsor, City of Palm Springs; and our Film Awards host Mary Hart and Entertainment Tonight for helping to make this one of the most exciting events in the world of film� Our major sponsors are IHG Hotels & Resorts and the Houston Family Foundation� The Film Awards underwriters are Helene Galen, JoAnn McGrath, Sean McGrath, Jordan Schnitzer, Harold Matzner and myself� Combined, our entire board of directors donates more than $1 million annually to this benefit for the Palm Springs International Film Society� It is an honor to support the vision and passion of our founder Sonny Bono, our past chairman, Harold Matzner, and James R� and Jackie Lee Houston, who chaired this event for so many years� We hope you join us in ringing in a very happy new year at the festival!

WELCOME

LETTER FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Hello film friend, In the months of preparation leading up to this edition, a phrase kept resurfacing in our

Lili Rodriguez Artistic Director

conversations: We’re back. Of course, with regular year-round programming, the Film Society was never gone (and we had a whole festival in 2023!), but we just can’t deny the sense of excitement for our return that is in the air this year. For our 35th, we are delighted to say that we are oﬃcially back.. Back to pre-pandemic offerings, back to special events. Welcome back to the film festival you’ve come to grow with and love over the past three decades!

As you flip through these pages, you’ll read but glimpses of stories set across the globe, from people and cultures vast and varied. Our team of programmers searched the globe with you in mind while selecting the films that make up the festival. Never an easy feat, the months-long programming process culminated in 180 films from over 70 countries that, in PSIFF tradition, range from heartwarming narratives that celebrate the human spirit to twisty thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat. We’ve got everything from indie darlings, to revelatory documentaries, to international blockbusters and everything in between… all awaiting your eager discovery. With so much to offer, I’d like to highlight some new or returning elements that promise to elevate your festival experience: In celebration of our 35th year, we’re introducing a Flashback Series – a nostalgic journey into the past with a spotlight on three iconic films released in 1990. For families looking to create lasting memories, mark your calendars for the last Sunday of the festival – our inaugural Family Day! This special day is dedicated to all generations of film enthusiasts, featuring a carefully curated selection of family-friendly films and activities that cater to the young and the young at heart. Our global exploration takes us to South Korea, 2024’s Country Focus! Immerse yourself in a collection of retro and contemporary South Korean films, experiencing the cultural richness and cinematic innovation that define this flourishing industry. As a tribute to the masterful work of acclaimed filmmaker James Ivory, we present a mini retrospective co-curated by the maestro himself. Dive into the exquisite tapestry of Ivory’s cinematic legacy, exploring the nuances of his storytelling and the artistry that has earned him a place among the greats. For those who appreciate the marriage of culinary and cinematic arts, our film-themed dinners are back! Always a delectable way to merge the worlds of food and film, and an experience that satisfies both your cinematic and gastronomic cravings. Last but certainly not least, join us at members-only coffee chat sessions! Three intimate and relaxed hour-long gatherings will be scheduled at various venues. Come share your thoughts and hear from the programming team and your fellow film society peers. Exclusive to Palm Springs International Film Society members. Reflecting on these experiences brings to mind the invaluable contributions of our partners and sponsors, whose unwavering support plays a crucial role in creating a memorable festival. A heartfelt thank you to all, with special gratitude extended to our friends at The Shag Store for their exceptional design of this year’s poster artwork. I’d like to conclude this letter by expressing a welcome to Nachhattar Singh Chandi and my heartfelt gratitude to Harold Matzner whose tenure as Chairman of the Board comes to a close. Harold’s visionary guidance and strategic insight have been instrumental in the Film Society’s success, and his legacy will continue to resonate within our organization. Thank you, Harold! Welcome to PSIFF24,

Lili Rodriguez Artistic Director 7 JANUARY 4 – 15, 2024

YOUNG CINEASTES AWARD The Young Cineastes jury is composed of local 14–17-year-old students interested in cinema and the arts�

LOCAL JURY AWARD Awarded by the Local Jury to a film that, in the spirit of neighborliness, promotes understanding and acceptance among people�

THE ENTERTAINER

AUDIENCE AWARDS Audiences play an important role in the life of a film� Filmmakers create their movies with an audience in mind and, in this day and age, content is being driven more and more by audiences themselves, rather than the critics and industry executives� It is only natural that audience awards from festivals play a major role in the marketing and distribution of a film� PSIFF is proud to recognize two special films with the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature and Best Documentary Feature�

Sculptor John Kennedy (1931 – 2004) is renowned by art lovers and collectors for his graceful bronze figures, which adorn parks, campuses and public buildings around the world. Two of his most famous sculptures are Spirit of Audrey, dedicated to Audrey Hepburn and located at the UNICEF Headquarters in New York City, and The Entertainer, the official award statuette of the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Inspired by a magazine article about court jesters, Kennedy created a life-size sculpture of a ball-juggling jester titled The Entertainer standing 7 feet 3 inches in 1995. In 1997, the Palm Springs International Film Festival began presenting festival winners with a scaled-down version of the life-size, and it has been the official award ever since. For more information on John Kennedy’s sculpture, please visit CODA Gallery, codagallery.com.

BRIDGING THE BORDERS AWARD

At a time when physical, religious, racial, cultural and economic borders divide the population of our planet, efforts to bridge those borders are more important than ever� In that spirit, Cinema Without Borders presents the Bridging the Borders Award to a film that is most successful in bringing the people of our world closer together� The winner of the 2024 Bridging the Borders Award, presented by Cinema Without Borders, is awarded $2,500 by MOZAIK�

With the support of our title sponsor, the City of Palm Springs, sponsor IHG Hotels & Resorts, our host Mary Hart and Entertainment Tonight, and our enthusiastic attendees, the Film Awards marks the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Palm Springs International Film Society.

Director of the Year Greta Gerwig drew audiences to theaters in record-breaking numbers in 2023 with a feminist fable wrapped in a vibrant, candy-coated wonderland, Barbie. As the wife of famed composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein in Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, International Star Award honoree Carey Mulligan delivers a moving, sensitive portrait of a woman strained by her acceptance of her husband’s long shadow and affairs with men.

Breakthrough Performance Award honoree Da’Vine Joy Randolph has taken her considerable talents to the next level with her poignant performance as a grieving mother who lost her only son in Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers. Spotlight Award honoree Colman Domingo brilliantly brings the long-overdue story of openly gay civil rights activist Bayard Rustin to life in George C. Wolfe’s Rustin, and Spotlight Award honoree Danielle Brooks commands the screen with her luminois and fierce performance in Blitz Bazawule’s The Color Purple.

There are more exciting honorees to be announced, and they’ll be feted by a star-studded roster of surprise presenters. For updates on honorees and tickets visit www.psfilmfest.org.

SPOTLIGHT: JAMES IVORY

Upholding their devotion to literary adaptation of the finest kind, the films of Merchant Ivory are the fruit of a rich and unparalleled partnership between three great artists across four decades and three continents. Together, Anglo-German novelist and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Indian producer Ismail Merchant and American director James Ivory have followed their own unique path in a spirit of true independence, and defined a cinema of consummate quality and intelligence with their Academy Award®-winning body of work. Collaborating with many of the finest actors of our time, from Vanessa Redgrave and Maggie Smith to Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Day-Lewis, this filmmaking trio excelled at bringing vivid cinematic life to classic works by E.M. Forster, Henry James, Kazuo Ishiguro and many others. Their films carried audiences on journeys into worlds suffused with, in Ivory’s own words, “beauty, the excitement and mystery of far-off places, and the romance of past times.” – COHEN FILM COLLECTION James Francis Ivory is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. For many years he worked extensively with Indianborn film producer Ismail Merchant, his domestic as well as professional partner, and with screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. All three were principals in Merchant Ivory Productions, whose films have won six Academy Awards®; Ivory himself has been nominated for four Oscars®, winning one. For his work on Call Me by Your Name (2017), which he wrote and produced. Ivory won awards for Best Adapted Screenplay from the Academy Awards®, British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Writers Guild of America, the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Scripter Awards, among others. Upon winning the Oscar® and BAFTA at the age of 89, Ivory became the oldest-ever winner in any category for both awards.
