The 31st annual San Antonio Film Festival will feature over 200 movies, including features, shorts, documentaries, student, international, and local films. The six-day celebration of cinema will honor actor and producer Matthew Modine with a Lifetime Achievement Award and Shaquille O’Neill with the Texas Yanaguana Award.
Modine will be in attendance for the documentary feature, I Hope this Helps!, prior to which he will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. Modine will also join Sal Lopez for a special Industry Panel: Full Metal Jacket Reunion.
Highlights of the festival will include opening night films The Wasps (executive produced by Richard Linklater), a musical comedy set in ancient Athens, and The Compatriots, a timely and heartfelt story of friendship between an undocumented immigrant facing deportation and his long-lost best friend.
