The Palm Springs International Film Festival returns for its 36th anniversary with its opening night screening of “Better Man” on January 2, 2025. The film is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
The film is uniquely told from Robbie’s perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring. It was co-written, co-produced and directed by Michael Gracey. The film is set to open wide on January 10th.
The film’s director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), festival chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi and artistic director Lili Rodriguez are expected to be in attendance.
The 36th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival is scheduled to be held physically from January 2 – 13, 2025. The annual star-studded Film Awards, honoring the best and brightest performances of the year, is scheduled for January 3, 2025.
PSIFF is organized by the Palm Springs International Film Society, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating and promoting the art and science of film through education and cross-cultural awareness.
