FLIFF 2006 began as a year of renovations and rebounding from the ravages of 2005 Hurricane Wilma, yet by year end FLIFF presented one of our most successful and entertaining Annual Film Festivals in its history.

The 2006, 21st Annual event was brimming with wonderful films, special guests, and signature events. Though films were as always, centerstage...the parties were just as memorable aboard yachts, the Tiki Beach Barge, and at a variety of trendy night clubs and fabulous restaurants. Our Sundance Festival Café and Toast to Humanity Wine lounge was a tremendous hit for casual chats after films. And, having Gallery One Fort Lauderdale as our host hotel, provided opportunities to gather late night or stop for a quick coffee and chat with staff at FLIFF’s hospitality suite throughout the day.

Wonderful new friendships and memories were made over the month-long festival.

Looking back …
Parker Playhouse was packed for opening night film Pedro Almodovar’s VOLVER, the hilarious PITTSBURGH starring Jeff Goldblum, the heart-warming CANVAS with Joe Pantoliano, the beautifully filmed and touching story LOCAL COLOR, and so many other great films.

The red carpet lined with media covering stars including Director Mel Stuart, Joe Pantialano, Michelle Philips, Shiva Rose, Ernie Hudson, Trevor Morgan, Connie Francis and … a huge 6 ft shark that traveled from theatre to theatre and other locations around Ft. Lauderdale luring people to see the amazing documentary SHARKWATER.

The 2008 FLIFF brings back an audience favorite venue The AMC Coral Ridge Theatre (October 24 - 30). The AMC was our first home,years before we created Cinema Paradiso. In addition to two non-stop screens, The AMC will also host our Festival Cafe, open to all filmmakers, press, corporate sponsors and Producer level and above members, The stunning Miniaci Theatre for the Performing Arts on the Nova Southeastern University campus in Davie will host our Gala Opening Night (Oct 17). But beyond a doubt, the Festival feels like home when we are at our year-round digs, Cinema Paradiso, complete with a full bar, The Paradiso Courtyard Patio, free parking, stadium seating in plush blue velvet seats, and the best sound & projection in South Florida.

On October 31st, the 4th 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, Huizenga Plaza, and at Hollywood's ArtsPark.

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.
