La Jolla Art and Wine Festival (LJAWF), seven years strong, is a festival for the senses.

In its 14th year — and fourth under new leadership — San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) is bringing some major star power to La Jolla — and a bit of “The Force” to boot. During Variety’s Night of the Stars Tribute, 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla, SDFF will honor Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody (“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Midnight in Paris”) with its Cinema Vanguard Award, while newcomer John Boyega, who plays the rogue stormtrooper, Finn, in the much anticipated “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” will be honored with a Rising Star Award. The 23-year-old British actor also stars in the upcoming satirical thriller, “The Circle,” alongside Tom Hanks and Emma Watson.
