AFI Fest 2007 has finalized its full slate. The festival, which kicks off November 1 with Robert Redford’s Lions for Lambs and runs through November 11, includes seven world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and tributes to legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve and America’s own Laura Linney. Deneuve will receive her tribute before the screening of Marjane
Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud’s beautifully animated Persepolis, to
which she lent her voice. Linney’s tribute comes before Tamara
Jenkins’s The Savages, in which she plays a woman who has to care for
her sick father along with her brother (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

The lineup of films at this year’s AFI Fest is as diverse as
the cultures of the 37 countries represented at the festival. The 148
films cover everything from the current political climate,
international events and cultural revolution to well-made and
entertaining dramas, comedies and horror films. For more information, click here.
