Among the highlights of AFI FEST 2009 is the Nov. 2 screening of AFI Conservatory Alumnus Daniel Raim's documentary Something's Gonna Live, which profiles several behind-the-scenes Hollywood veterans — most of whom have already passed away — including production designers Robert Boyle (who turned 100 this past Oct. 10), Henry Bumstead (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Sting), Harold Michelson (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Mommie Dearest, Dick Tracy), and Albert Nozaki (When Worlds Collide, The War of the Worlds, The Ten Commandments), in addition to cinematographers Conrad L. Hall (In Cold Blood, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Road to Perdition) and Haskell Wexler (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, In the Heat of the Night).

Both Robert Boyle and Haskell Wexler are expected to attend the World Premiere screening of Something's Gonna Live.

Raim's previous documentary, by the way, was the Oscar-nominated The Man on Lincoln's Nose (2000), which focuses on Boyle's work as production designer, including his collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock on several films. Among these is North by Northwest (1959), which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Appropriately enough, this Hitchcock classic about a man, a wheat field, and a dot in the sky that turns out to be a plane will also be screened on Monday, Nov. 2. Leading lady Eva Marie Saint and bad guy Martin Landau are scheduled to take part in a q&a moderated by Academy Award-winning filmmaker William Friedkin.

North by Northwest is supposed to be the first Hitchcock film to be released on Blu-ray.
