Long Beach International Film Festival Rocks the Shore

The Long Beach International Film Festival turned the Barrier Island into the area's hottest destination last week.

Stars and filmmakers from all over came to Long Beach to celebrate film and show their movies. There were long and short-form pieces of all genres, as well as many celebrations and parties to fill the time between screenings.

The three-day event showcased dozens of films, screening long movies at the Long Beach Cinema and short films directly on the beach itself.

In addition to a cavalcade of films, there were also parties hosted at the Allegria Hotel, as well as the popular Taste on the Beach, which showcased the fare from restaurants all over the area.

Check out some pictures from the film festival below.
