Esteemed actress Gena Rowlands (Minnie and Moskowitz, Gloria, Night on Earth, The Notebook) is this year’s special guest of honor at the 2015 Santa Fe Independent Film Festival. She’ll be accepting the festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Lensic Performing Ats Center (211 W. San Francisco). The ceremony will be followed by a screening of the 1974 film A Woman Under the Influence—for which Rowlands received a Best Actress nomination from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Tickets for that (likely to sell out) event are available at ticketssantafe.org ($12 to $150) . Of course that’s not the only thing happening at this year’s SFIFF. The seventh annual event, taking place Oct. 14 through 18 in Santa Fe, features more than 100 films, educational panels, discussions and—of course—parties. It all comes to an end on Sunday at 6:30pm with the Closing Night Film, Jay Craven’s period drama Peter and John, based on the 1887 novel by Guy de Maupassant.
