Actors Hoffman and Binoche and cinematographer Richardson will each receive an honorary Crystal Globe for outstanding artistic contribution to world cinema.
Wright will receive the festival’s President’s Award.
The festival will screen The Graduate in honour of Hoffman, Certified Copy, Three Colours: Blue and In-I in Motion for Binoche, and Basquiat for Wright, while Richardson will join director Jana Hojdova in presenting Robert Richardson: The White Devil, a documentary about the cinematographer.
The festival has added Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s family comedy horror Family Movie, starring the couple and their children Travis and Sosie Bacon, as a special screening with the Bacon-Sedgwick family in attendance.
Harvey Keitel will also attend KVIFF for the third time to present Martin Scorsese’s 1973 crime classic Mean Streets.
