The Palm Beach International Film Festival kicks off this Thursday, April 22nd, with a number of great events, and a line up of even better films. Setting the stage is the premier of Princess Ka’uliana, followed by the Opening Night Party at the Winthrop Place Rooftop.
The party continues on to Friday with the PBIFF 15th Anniversary Celebration at the Omphoy Ocean Resort Hotel. The Silver Screen Splash is the “biggest soiree on the beach” focusing the spotlight on Life Time Achievement Award winner Burt Reynolds, and the Horizon Award to The Blind Side’s Quinton Aaron.
What am I looking forward to? Amexica and Sayad Kashua-Forever Scared.
Directed by Ronald Krauss, Amexica is a short film featuring a young boy from Mexico, victimized by the Human Trafficking ring and a “get-rich-quick” Los Angeles couple. Sayad Kashua- Forever Scared, directed by Dorit Zimbalist, portrays the political portrait of writer and publicist Kashua on his 7-year journey of going from nation to nation and the implications of his choices on his family.
