Cinevegas Film Festival 2007
Published in : 2007-06-01 in the category: Festivals and Prizes

With all the excitement that visitors expect from Sin City, the ninth annual CineVegas Film Festival will return to the Palms Casino Resort and the Brenden Theatres from June 6-16.

This year's festival, which opens with Steven Soderbergh's latest tango with the incomparable city of Las Vegas, Ocean's Thirteen, offers a breadth of world and U.S. premieres, advance screenings of high-profile films, the best new independent films seeking distribution, and a Mexican cinema sidebar continuing the festival's tradition of discovering emerging talent and taking chances in showcasing challenging but innovative work.

The festival's Closing Night film is You Kill Me, the forthcoming dark comedy from director John Dahl (The Last Seduction, Rounders).

Starring Ben Kingsley, Téa Leoni, Luke Wilson and Bill Pullman, You Kill Me follows an alcoholic hit man (Kingsley) who heads to California to take a break from his bad habits, taking a job at a mortuary, and becoming romantically involved with the stepdaughter (Leoni) of a corpse he's embalming.

The 2007 festival is sponsored by the Palms Casino Resort, the Greenspun Media Group, Vegas.com and Condé Nast Traveler. Robin Greenspun serves as the festival's President, Trevor Groth serves as Artistic Director and Dennis Hopper serves as the Chairman of the Creative Advisory Board.
