WOODSTOCK, NY (AP) -- The ninth annual Woodstock Film Festival this week will feature appearances by filmmaker Kevin Smith, '60s troubadour Donovan and more than 120 films.
The festival runs Wednesday through Sunday at venues in Woodstock and nearby Kingston, Rosendale and Rhinebeck. Honorary awards will be presented to Smith, cinematographer Haskell Wexler and veteran writer-producer James Schamus, chief executive officer of Focus Features.
Smith's new movie, ``Zack and Miri Make a Porno,'' will be featured on closing night. Opening night will feature ``Pride and Glory,'' ``Happy-Go-Lucky'' and ``Flash of Genius.''
Donovan will perform and appear on a panel.
For the first time, the festival is opening its awards ceremony to the public. The admission fee for the ceremony and after-party is $50.
