Actor Elijah Wood will introduce a film at this year’s Chattanooga Film Festival.

Organizers also announced the addition of more films to the lineup (see trailers below).

Although known for his roles in “The Lord of the Rings” films and for more recent movies such as “Maniac” and “Grand Piano,” Wood has become highly involved in the release and production of genre films that stray far from the mainstream.

Wood will introduce the film “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” which was handled by his production company, Spectrevision.

This follows the previous announcement that film historian Joe Bob Briggs would be giving a lecture on the history of Southern cinema.

Organizers have also shared some information on the screening of two secret films in 35 mm. One film will be from the ’80s and family-friendly, while the other film will be for badge holders only.

Mark Covino, director of the critically acclaimed film “A Band Called Death,” will also be on hand to host an educational workshop on the art and method of documentary filmmaking.

Actor Pat Healy (“Cheap Thrills, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) will be conducting an acting workshop in which he uses his extensive TV and film experience to educate both new and seasoned actors and actresses on how best to use their talents.

The festival will run April 2-5, and badges are available to purchase from their website. Individual tickets are also now on sale for select films.
