The Golden Door International Film Festival has announced its lineup for the 2016 festival, which runs from Sept. 22 through Sept. 25, in Jersey City.

This year's roster of films -- to be shown at the Landmark Loew's Jersey Theater, Beacon Paramount Theatre and Rialto-Capital in Jersey City -- is a mix of unique independent winners and mainstream majors, festival officials said.

The film fest will open on Sept. 22 with the world premiere of Chris Robert's "Another You," starring Ksenia Solo, Kris Holden-Ried and Diego Boneta.

Film focuses on the young and ambitious science major Sydney Jameson who finds love and refuses to let it go at all costs. What starts as an ordinary relationship with her boyfriend Marcus slowly becomes a fixation that takes Sydney into the darkest depths of despair.

A red-carpet screening of Miles Doleac's The Hollow -- ahead of its wide theatrical later in the year -- starring James Callis (Bridget Jones's Baby), Christiane Seidel (Boardwalk Empire), William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption), William Forsythe (Daredevil), Jeff Fahey (Lost) and Doleac (Containment), is the feature event on Sept. 23.

Also airing on Sept. 23 will be the "Legends of Freestyle" documentary with a performance by singer Cynthia.

Red carpet events on Saturday, Sept. 24 include Mara Lesemann's "Detours," starring Carlo Fiorletta and Paul Sorvino, John Asher's "Po," starring Christopher Gorham, about a single dad raising a boy with autism, and Thomas Baldinger's romantic-comedy "Who's Jenna..?" starring Tracey Birdsall and Bill Sorvino. 

Filmmakers vie to win honors in such categories as The James Gandolfini Award, Narrative Feature, Music Videos and Local Films.

Golden Door International Film Festival was founded in 2010 and is operated by the Sorvino family, with both Mira Sorvino and Paul Sorvino on the board.
