The festival unspools 11 docs over three days, including “The Pixar Story” and “Father G and the Homeboys,” and closes with “Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Green.” Actors Robert Guillaume and Seymour Cassel will be honored with lifetime achievement awards ( www.FriendsofFilm.com). . . . This year’s sound mixing and sound editing Oscar nominees “sound” off Saturday at “Art of Sound” at Beverly Hills’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater. The program will feature clips from each sound-nominated film, and 20-time nominee Kevin O’Connell (“Transformers”) will moderate a discussion with this year’s winners ( www.oscars.org). . . . After opening on Sept. 1, 1887, the Saugus Train Station has played backdrop to many films, including Charlie Chaplin’s 1923 “The Pilgrim.” In celebration of the silent comedy’s 85th anniversary, the William S. Hart Museum and Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society will screen the movie Saturday evening at the historic train station. Also on the bill is the Buster Keaton short “The Paleface,” which was shot at nearby Beale’s Cut ( www.scvhs.org).
