LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. film actor Joaquin Phoenix is set to be honored at Hollywood's Artivist Film Festival & Awards for his environmental and social efforts.
The annual event will recognize the "Walk the Line" star at its Nov. 9-12 festival at Los Angeles' historic Egyptian Theater for his efforts to raise awareness and assist in social global causes, said a news release from the festival.
Joining the 31-year-old actor as 2006 honorees will be fellow film stars Daryl Hannah and Matthew McConaughey, whose philanthropic environmental efforts will be recognized as well.
Prior honorees by the three-year-old festival have included actors James Cromwell, Mira Sorvino, Ed Begley Jr. and "M.A.S.H." star Mike Ferrell.
The festival will also offer more than 150 films from 34 countries, a news release said, and all profits made from the four-day festival will be used to feature like-minded films worldwide to help spread the non-profit organization's social and environmental messages.
