LEWISTON — Cable TV’s “Survivorman,” Les Stroud, will headline the 2013 Lewiston-Auburn Film Festival.

At a press conference this morning, festival directors announced Stroud’s duties as well as a schedule of events for the festival, which will stretch to four days next year and run from April 4 to 7.

Stroud will sign copies of books and perform with his band at the festival’s Saturday night gala.

Stroud’s Discovery Channel series drops him into inhospitable places — jungles, deserts, mountaintops — and leaves him alone to document his survival.

The festival will also host the world premiere of “The Peloton Project,” a documentary following cyclists as they journey from Calgary to Lewiston. The adventure is a metaphor for the journey taken by cancer survivors.

Tickets for the 2013 festival go on sale on Monday, Nov. 26.
