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.
