The 7th annual Long Beach International Film Festival (LBIFF) will be held on the beachfront in Long Beach, Long Island, N.Y., on Aug. 1–4, for four days of film screenings, panels, and culinary events.
On Aug. 2, LBIFF is partnering with Devour! The Food Film Fest to host Chefs & Shorts, a locally-sourced, five-course dinner with wine pairings, inspired by five short films. Guests will enjoy each course while viewing the film that inspired it: a blue corn tostada with chipotle-glazed octopus, sea urchin guacamole, and charred green tomato salsa inspired by the film “From Milpa to Mesa,” for instance, or a fruit salad with milk chocolate and yogurt mousse cake inspired by “Fruit.” $149 per person.
