Woody Allen’s Whatever Works and Jay DiPietro’s Peter And Vandy bookend the Provincetown International Film Festival, set to run in Massachusetts from June 17-21.

As previously announced Guy Maddin will receive the 2009 Filmmaker On The Edge Award, Alessandro Nivola will collect the Excellence In Acting Award, and Strand Releasing will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
