"I can't think of a more perfect opening-night film than 'A Prairie Home Companion'," festival producer Matt Dentler told The Reporter. "Not only do you have great masters like Robert Altman and Garrison Keillor involved, but it's also a celebration of entertainment and the creative spirit."
The movie is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters in June.
