Delray Beach Film Festival
March 8 – 12, 2006
Over these five days the festival
will program over one hundred shorts, features, documentaries and Xtreme
sports films.
“The Delray Beach Film Festival was created to offer filmmakers
a fun, warm, beautiful place to meet, mingle and party,” Micheal
Posner, the festival director and creator promises. “Our relaxed
and welcoming atmosphere will be a breath of fresh air to any filmmaker
who has been busy producing or promoting their film.”
Posner is a veteran of the festival world, having worked at dozens of
film events across the country, including The Sundance Film Festival and
the Newport Beach Film Festival.
He created the Delray Beach Film Festival in order to support both emerging
film talent and the other love of his life – veterinary medicine.
A former veterinarian, Posner plans to split all of the festival’s
profits between the Humane Society and the Communication Departments of
the Palm Beach County Schools.
The Delray Beach Film Festival plans to separate itself from the rest
by offering its guests one-of-a-kind perks, including exploration trips
through the Florida Everglades and surf lessons with professional surfers.
The festival plans to take full advantage of its exquisite location and
the staff promises those who attend more than just a film festival –
they intend to make the Delray Experience a vacation.
Already planned are a celebrity surf contest and a celebrity golf tournament
at the Hamlet Country Club. Fun in the sun and/or moonlight will continue
throughout the five days as Old School Square is turned into a venue for
local filmmakers to display their short films and documentaries. In support
of local talent, the festival will keep this event open and free to the
public.
The festival has already been recognized by Red Bull, who had signed on
to sponsor the event, as well as kick off the Xtreme Sports Program with
one of their own Xtreme Films.
