NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—The Newport Beach Film Festival is planning its return, and organizers say they'll pack as many live screenings into the event as possible.

Founded in 1999, the event has become one of the largest international cinema events in Southern California, and a coveted stop for movie writers, directors, and actors traveling the film festival gauntlet.
