The St. Louis International Film Festival ends Sunday, but it’s hardly coasting to the finish line. There is plenty to see this weekend, including the presentation of a lifetime-achievement award  to documentary legend Michael Apted (best known for the “7 Up” series) before a screening of his soccer movie “The Power of the Game” on Sunday at 3 at the Tivoli. Soccer fans should also make note of the similarly titled “More Than Just a Game,” which screens Saturday at 3:30 at the Tivoli. It’s based on the fascinating story of the soccer team at the South African prison where Nelson Mandela was held for so many years. The story came to light through the research of UMSL sports-history professor Chuck Korr, who will be on hand for the screening.

This year, the festival organizers have done a great job of grouping the movies into sidebars, and on Saturday there are two day-long events for specialty audiences: family films at Wash. U and film noir at Webster.

St. Louisan Jeremy Lasky, the director for photography on such Pixar hits as “WALL-E,” will present a free program on the making of that great ‘toon at 5 p.m. in Brown Hall. It’s part of a day-long symposium on family films that also includes a screening at 7:30 of Steven Soderbergh’s “King of the Hill,” a coming-of-age story that is set in St. Louis during the (original) Great Depression.

Meanwhile, in Moore Auditorium at Webster on Saturday, dark shadows will creep across the screen. The theme is film nor, and the day-long program includes a great mashup of old movie clips called “The Empire State Building Murders” at 4 p.m., Joseph Losey’s film-noir classic “The Prowler” at 6:30 and a panel discussion of Hollywood’s anti-communist blacklist at 8:30, featuring “Prowler” co-star (and blacklist victim) Marsha Hunt.

Other highlights of the closing weekend include “The Thacker Case,” the follow-up to the Sundance-tested “Steel City” by Alton native Brian Jun, Friday at 7:15 at the Tivoli; the carnival-life documentary “Carny,” Saturday at 3:30 at the Tivoli; “Visual Acoustics,” the modern-architecture doc by St. Louisan Eric Bricker on Saturday at 6:15 at the Tivoli; a new film about radio-legend Garrison Keillor on Sunday at 12:30 at the Tivoli; and the animated Middle East documentary “Waltz with Bashir” on Sunday at 3:15 at Plaza Frontenac.

Finally on Sunday there is the free closing-night party at Blueberry Hill at 8 p.m. I hope I live to see it.
