Pack your bags, the 2014 Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF) kicks off June 18 with stellar programming and plenty of parties. Unofficially queer (but still gay as, well, a weekend in P-town), the festival lineup includes a vast array of LGBT-themed films, several of which also screened at this year's Cannes, Sundance and SXSW film festivals.
Following the opening night screening of her latest film, "Last Weekend," directed by Tom Dolby and Tom Williams, Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson will receive the 2014 Excellence in Acting Award. A special ceremony on Saturday, June 21, at Provincetown Town Hall will honor three-time Academy Award nominee Debra Winger, the recipient of the Faith Hubley Memorial Achievement Award; John Waters, PIFF's resident artist, will present director David Cronenberg ("A History of Violence," "Eastern Promises") with the Filmmaker on the Edge Award at the event.
