**THIS year’s festival features** new movies starring **James Franco, Robin Williams** and **Natasha Lyonne**.

Special guests include: Queer icon **Sherry Vine**; **Alanté Kavaïté**, 2015 winner of Sundance’s Best Director; **Luizo Vega**, the *“lost son”* of Madonna; **Angela Robinson**, producer of True Blood; **Jonathan King**, producer of Lincoln and Dreamgirls; and **Mark Christopher**, director of 54 Director’s Cut…

TLVFest opens on June 6 with *Fresno*, a film directed by **Jamie Babbit**, last year’s TLVFest Honorary Award winner. This surprising black comedy stars **Natasha Lyonne**, **Judy Greer** and **Aubrey Plaza**, and was produced by **Andrea Sperling** (Transparent) and written by **Karey Dornetto** (The New Normal, Portlandia).

TLVFest will also screen *54: Director’s Cut* with **Ryan Philippe** and **Selma Hayek** which just premiered at Berlinale 2015\. Its director **Mark Christopher** and producer **Jonathan King** will attend the showing.

Likewise, **Alanté Kavaïté**, the director of *The Summer of Sangaile*, winner of the Best Director at Sundance 2015 will attend the Israeli premiere of her movie.

**Luizo Vega** will present his unique documentary, *The Material Boy* (2015), about creating art that breaks boundaries in a fascist country and his longing for his ‘mother’, the Queen of Pop, Madonna.

This year TLVFest’s Honorary Award will be presented to **Angela Robinson** who will show her cult lesbian spy comedy D.E.B.S. which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. Robinson joined the hit HBO series *True Blood* in 2012 as writer, producer and director. She was the first out lesbian and African American director of a Disney film, *Herbie Fully Loaded*, and produced and directed a number of episodes of the renowned lesbian TV series *The L Word*. Today, Robinson continues to break stereotypes as consulting producer of *How to Get Away with Murder*.

The Award Ceremony will feature **Robin Williams’** last movie, *Boulevard* (2014), in which he portrays a 60-year-old man coming out of the closet. *The Fourth Man Out* (2015) directed by **Andrew Nackman** will celebrate its international premiere at TLVFest’s closing night on June 15\. **Evan Todd**, the star of the movie will be in attendance.
