FLIFF 2017 OPENING NIGHT FILM & PARTY
Friday, Nov 3, 7:30pm DOG YEARS at Hard Rock Live
Friday, Nov 3, 9pm OPENING NIGHT PARTY at Hard Rock Live

Hard Rock Live, located at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will host an all access “Backstage” post-screening reception for guests who attend the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival opening night preview. Just beyond the box office doors, the arena that has played host to millions, will become an intimate movie house. Couples, families and friends will enjoy an exclusive soiree where an old-school movie ticket gets you more than a seat in the theater. When the final scene fades from the big screen, the halls where legendary musicians and timeless actors have roamed, come alive. The re-imagined film set will decorate the evening, and fun gourmet twists on traditional movie night bites serve up a satisfying after-party experience. Movie-goers will come together to sip, mingle and share their cinematic journey, anchored by the area’s premier destination for fun and entertainment. What a way to check out a new flick. *Your party ticket includes the 7:30pm Opening Night film DOG YEARS.

Following the film, Burt Reynolds will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award: Part Deux.  We awarded Burt with a Lifetime Achievement in 1991, now, 28 years later, let’s do it again! Special Guest: Burt Reynolds.
