They'll all part of the Greenwich International Film Festival (GIFF) which runs from Thursday, June 1 to Sunday, June 4.
For the third year in a row, the festival, with the mission "Film. Finance. Philanthropy," offers a full slate of programming, much of it featuring a social action component.
Expect a roster of 50 films touching on topics from mental illness and sexual assault to the power of survival. Panel discussions are also on the schedule with everything from a behind the scenes glimpse at “Saturday Night Live” to sports talk with “Mike and the Mad Dog" to a "Cannonball Run" reunion.
There's even a town panel question-and-answer session led by former first daughter Barbara Pierce Bush, as well as a "Captain Underpants" screening and book signing by series author Dav Pilkey.
It all kicks off Thursday with a Changemaker Gala honoring Renée Zellweger and Christy Turlington Burns. The event celebrates artists who have used their public platform and the power of film to further positive social change.
