Pic, which stars Styler's husband Sting, Eartha Kitt and David Spade, looks at the process of creating a Disney animated movie. Davidson will be on hand to discuss the pic when it screens Oct. 26.
Fest will focus on the film during its gala presentation instead of paying tribute to a single industryite as it has done in years past.
Unspooling over two weekends -- Oct. 18-20 and Oct. 25-27 -- fest will screen over 25 films.
Pics on the roster include opener "Roger Dodger," Matt Miller's "The Perfect You," Mark Ruffalo-starrer "XX/XY" and closing film "The Safety of Objects," with Glenn Close and Dermot Mulroney.
A breakfast seminar about documentary filmmaking and a trivia contest are among the planned special events.
Screenings will take place in local institutions including contemporary art space MassMoca in neighboring North Adams. For more information, visit www.williamstownfilmfest.com.
