Fort Lauderdale
International Film Festival
October 15 - November 11 2007
Cinema Paradiso
503 SE 6th ST.
Fort Lauderdale, FL. 33301
(954) 525-FILM
The 22nd Annual Fort Lauderdale International Film
Festival (October 15 - November 11, 2007) is the world's longest *Guiness
World Recods), the oldest consecutively running Florida fest,
Florida's top rated film fest (Florida Arts Council) and one of
Broward's five Major Cultural Institutions. With 200 screenings of
150 films in venues stretching from Key West to Boca Raton, FLIFF
serves the widest constituent base of any festival in the country.
In addition to our award winning programs of world and American
independent film, FLIFF also provides free film seminars, free
films for kids, free outdoor family movies, and a variety of gala
events.
The 2007 FLIFF introduces two new venues. The stunning Miniaci
Theatre for the performing Arts on the Nova Southeastern
University campus in Davie will host our Gala Opening Night (Oct
19) plus films on October 21, November 4 – 9. On November 11, we
will feature four Official Closing Day films in the Miniaci.
The Festival moves to The Regal Cypress Creek on October 24 – 30,
where we will feature two theatres playing films from 1pm – 10pm.
When we are not at The Miniaci or The Regal, we are back at home
base with films and special events at Cinema Paradiso. On October
31st, the 3rd Annual BOO-tacular will take place at Cinema
Paradiso. From 6 – 8pm, kids can enjoy our Pumpkin Patch, Haunted
House, Costume & Scream Contests, Halloween movies (easy on
frights for the little ones) and treats. At 9pm things get scary
for the older crowd!
There will be several free outdoor movies including Blockbusters
at Pompano Fashion Square (Oct 13 & Nov 10), Weston Regional Park
(Oct 20 & 17), Huizenga Plaza (Oct 27 & Nov 24), and foreign films
at Hollywood’s ArtsPark (Oct 11 & Nov 8).
The Official Entre Nous Opening Night party will take place at
Signature Grand, just a five minute drive from The Miniaci. With
celebrities in attendance, a live band, a fabulous silent auction
and sumptuous buffet, this is one of the best known FLIFF events.
With year-round programming at Cinema Paradiso and throughout
South Florida, FLIFF is a vacation from ordinary film.
