Doris Roberts To Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at Louisville's International Festival of Film 10/3

Doris Roberts, whose latest film, Another Harvest Moon, will be shown at the first annual Louisville's International Festival of Film, on October 3, is to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at a special dinner following the screening.

Doris, who received four Emmys® for her comedic turn as Marie Barone during the nine year run of Everybody Loves Raymond and another Emmy® for her dramatic portrayal of a homeless woman in St. Elsewhere, has appeared in countless movies and television shows and is a 30-year veteran of Broadway.

In Another Harvest Moon, a sensitive drama about four elderly Americans coping with life in a nursing home, she stars with Ernest Borgnine, Piper Laurie, Anne Meara, Richard Schiff and Cybill Shepherd.

The film is an Aurora Films and SMD Entertainment Productions presentation, directed by Greg W. Swartz from a screenplay by Jeremy T. Black. Bobby Black, Chad Taylor and Jason Weiss produced and Steven M. Delamater was executive producer.

Louisville's International Festival of Film (LIFF) is committed to screening artistic films not usually presented through commercial venues, giving independent filmmakers a place to showcase their work. The proceeds of the Festival will be used by the LFAI to help fund education efforts focused on training the filmmakers of tomorrow in Metro Louisville and The Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In addition to film screenings, the festival will host a variety of seminars, events and parties designed to provide Kentuckians and industry visitors alike the opportunity to become involved in the future of the Film Industry in Kentucky. We believe that an annual festival will promote Kentucky and Metro Louisville as a destination point for film production drenched in hospitality, arts and culture.
