The San Francisco International Film Festival will give its Founder's Directing Award this year to Kenneth Branagh, and honor him with a tribute at the Castro Theatre.
The award will be made at the Film Society Awards Night, April 26. The tribute, which includes an onstage interview with Branagh, a clip reel and a screening of his "Dead Again" feature, takes place April 27. This year's festival, the 55th, runs April 19 to May 3.
