“The Descendants” writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash’s “The Way, Way Back” will serve as the closing-night attraction at the 2013 Los Angeles Film Festival, Film Independent announced on Wednesday.
Also on the slate for LAFF: James Ponsoldt’s “The Spectacular Now,” Nicholas Winding Refn’s “Only God Forgives,” Ryan Coogler’s “Fruitvale Station” and a 20th anniversary screening of Richard Linklater‘s “Dazed and Confused.”
Although past LAFF lineups have included special screenings of such blockbuster offerings as “The Avengers,” “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and “Despicable Me,” this year’s slate for the most part focuses on independent films and favorites from festivals like Sundance.
