LONG BEACH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Once again this event, sponsored by SVS Fine Jewelry, and featuring dozens of films and "Taste on the Beach' was a hit. The films covered modern topics - opioids, suicide, surfing, the digital age - "Life Hack", the coal industry ""From the Ashes",suicide, arson, rehab,  with the grand finale of  wines, vodka and culinary tastings in the huge white tent.



There were shorts, animation features, and documentaries. Emmy-nominated Nancy Cartwright, and producer of the film "In Search of Fellini" was expected to attend, along with  tv, radio personalities, athletes and supporting politicians including Todd Kaminsky, NY state senator and Jack Schnirman,
City Manager of Long Beach. ( my distant relative Charles Theofan used to hold hat position, and
his funeral was attended by half of all Long Beach).



.I never knew that each USA baseball team has its own wines.  Gary served NY Yankees
cabernet, - very smoothe. Hundreds of families, friends, supporters, drank and tasted in the
huge tent, while entertainment was held on the stage. In the tent, The Guardavidas entertained playing upbeat favorites while hundreds mixed and mingled, watched the sunset and had
the most glorious time of the entire summer.
Dont miss this event ever.!!!!!!.
