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.
