The Three Rivers Film Festival will have one-time screenings, or what it's calling sneak peeks, of "Pride & Prejudice" starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen and the critically hailed "The Squid and the Whale" about a family splintered by divorce.

		Dates and locations for the Three Rivers Film Festival.

The 24th festival, being presented by Pittsburgh Filmmakers and Dollar Bank, will feature more than 40 films from Nov. 3-17 and boasts a particularly strong, appealing mix. It will celebrate the 100th anniversary of moviegoing by re-creating the Nickelodeon experience and spotlighting independent American movies, documentaries and international films.

On Nov. 3, Philip Carli will provide live accompaniment to "Beyond the Rocks," a newly restored 1922 classic starring Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino at the Byham Theater, Downtown.

On Nov. 4, the fest will have an embarrassment of riches, with the Jane Austen adaptation at the Regent Square, "Breakfast on Pluto," starring Cillian Murphy as a beleaguered Irish transvestite who becomes involved with the IRA while searching for his birth mother, at the Harris, and "SQUONKumentary" plus a live performance by Squonk Opera at the Melwood Screening Room, Oakland.
