The Banshees of Inisherin and the bawdy Weird Al Yankovic biopic Weird will open the fest on Saturday, Oct. 22. Throughout the week, ticket buyers will be able to attend screenings of Sam Mendes’s Empire of Light, the Timothee Chalamet cannibal drama Bones and All, Rian Johnson’s delightful sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the dark comedy The Menu, Sarah Polley’s Women Talking, and Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale.

But it’s not just the movies that make their way to Savannah each year. The SCAD Savannah Film Festival has become a destination for industry talent to come to Georgia and showcase work, but also to interact with SCAD students who soak up knowledge from people in the business about how to conduct themselves at the next level.

Through the In Conversation section of the film festival, attendees to the 2022 SCAD Savannah Film Festival will be able to hear from Hollywood legend Ron Howard, costume designer Sandy Powell (Gangs of New York, Hugo, The Aviator), and Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller – who will be accompanied by a screening of his summer blockbuster.

Still, that’s only a sliver of the talent expected to be in Savannah for this year’s fest. In addition to the three names mentioned, SCAD this year will honor: Colson Baker (Machine Gun Kelly) with the Discovery Award for Taurus Kerry Condon with the Distinguished Performance Award for The Banshees of Inisherin JD Dillard with the Rising Star Director Award for Devotion Nicholas Hoult with the Vanguard Award for The Menu Jonathan Majors with the Spotlight Award for Devotion Janelle Monáe with the Spotlight Award for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Jeremy Pope with the Distinguished Performance Award for The Inspection Eddie Redmayne with the.
