Back of the Envelope Guide: Palm Beach International Film Festival

April 4, 2008 at 4:30 PM | by | Comments (0)


When movies like this are on the schedule, how can you not wanna go to the Palm Beach International Film Fest? The fun starts on April 10, with Zak Penn's "The Grand," a poker movie starring Woody Harrelson. Potential comedy of the century "305" plays at 9 pm on April 11.

The Marriott Delray Beach is hosting the event and the Boca Raton Resort & Club is also offering a package. The films continue through April 17, so even if you can't make it to the opening gala, you still could catch the second half of the fest.

Go See Some Films:
The festival has a variety of ticket packages, ranging from a "Daytimer" ticket for all pre-5 pm screenings to the $1,000 Platinum Pass. Individual tickets are just $7. Theaters are scattered around the Palm Beach/Boca Raton area, and you can find specific directions and Google Maps here.

Stop to Refuel:
Spoto's Oyster Bar has two locations for raw bar fans. Or you can pretend you're in Miami with a giant plate of ropa vieja at Havana. If you go to Rachel's, let us know how the fembots treat you.

Hit the Beaches:
Tired of sitting in dark rooms watching movies instead of enjoying the beach? Latana Public Beach gets frequent accolades, though there are plenty of other strands to choose from. A little north of Palm Beach is a place worth checking out for the name alone: Burt Reynolds Park.
