There was also a showing of Green Book. The 1962-set, based-on-a-true-story drama follows a black concert pianist (Mahershala Ali) and his Italian-American driver (Viggo Mortensen) on their tour through the dangerous Deep South.
Director Peter Farrelly, of Green Book

As a filmmaker known for raunch-coms like Dumb and Dumber, Peter Farrelly knew he probably wasn't the first choice to direct Green Book. Though the story already had "a natural humor to the odd couple thing," Farrelly tells EW pitching required "getting people to believe I could pull it off." He does — and he admits he shocked himself while doing it. "I didn’t realize how funny it was until I started shooting," he explains. "I giggled constantly."

Jones posed with costar Armie Hammer and On the Basis of Sex director Mimi Leder, who was thrilled her film was opening the AFI Fest. "As one of the first women ever admitted to the AFI Conservatory, it's particularly meaningful to me that On the Basis of Sex will open AFI Fest 2018,” said Leder. "My time at the Conservatory was a life-changing experience and informed my creative journey. I am forever grateful. The origin story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in this 25th anniversary year of her appointment to the Supreme Court, couldn’t come at a more important moment in our history nor be shown at a more relevant place than AFI Fest, a symbol of artistic integrity and the enduring power of cinema. I hope girls and young women in particular will see the film and find inspiration to realize their own unlimited potential."
