This year, we are thrilled to be bringing in such a wide array of local, domestic and international Filmmakers to attend the Mill Valley Film Festival. We work very hard to give you, the viewer, the opportunity to discuss the film with the filmmaker during post-screening Q&A sessions, as well as the chance to show these filmmakers just how much our community loves cinema!
Please note that guest attendance is subject to change.
