DI Day at FLIFF
The Documentary Institute will help kick off the upcoming Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival. FLIFF is hosting a “DI Day” as part of its opening week festivities at Cinema Paradiso on Thursday, October 16.
The event, organized by FLIFF President & CEO and Gator alum Gregory von Hausch, will feature two DI films that are sure to be a hit with a Florida audience. Gimme Green, produced by 2006 graduates Isaac Brown and Eric Flagg, provides a look at America’s obsession with lawns; while Key West Cock Tales, produced by 2005 graduates Christa Carnell, Michelle Phillips and Craig Roberts, is a humorous look at a town divided between chicken lovers and chicken haters, and the subsequent struggles of the nation’s first “Chicken Catcher.”
In addition to being Florida’s top rated festival, The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is the world’s longest film festival and the oldest consecutively running Florida festival.
The event will begin with a reception at 5 p.m., followed by introductions and film screenings at 6 p.m.
