Indie film fans may want to check out the Provincetown International Film Festival, which is planning something special this summer for its 20th anniversary.
Sean Baker, the writer-director of “The Florida Project’’ (and of 2015’s “Tangerine’’) will receive the Filmmaker on the Edge Award, an honor bestowed on creators who bend cinematic boundaries. Baker will attend the festival and sit down June 16 with director/provocateur John Waters, a previous Filmmaker on the Edge honoree.
Also, actress Chloë Grace Moretz will be on hand to receive the festival’s second annual Next Wave Award, which spotlights unique voices in the indie film world. Moretz, who stars in the PIFF Spotlight selection “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,’’ is barely 21 but has already appeared in dozens of films. (It helps when you start at the age of 5.) She’ll accept the award in conversation with Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper June 15.
The festival, which runs June 13-17, kicks off with “Wild Nights With Emily,’’ a dramedy starring former “SNL’’ cast member Molly Shannon as poet Emily Dickinson.
