FLIFF Brings Movie Magic To The Bahamas

As part of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival’s expansive mandate, it is inaugurating its FLIFF 2011: On Location initiative, which will bring the highlights of the Festival to Grand Bahama Island from October 27 to 30. Working with the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the mini-festival will screen about a dozen films, host a number of gala parties and industry seminar events, present the inaugural Grand Bahama Youth Film Competition and offer up a tribute and reception for actor Dennis Haysbert. The event opens this Thursday with a free outdoor screening of BENEATH THE BLUE, which was shot on location at Smith Point on the island. For more information, visit: www.fliff.com
