Dinners are good, so are movies, dinner AND a movie is even better. But how about dinner and movie on the beach? Organized by the the Long Beach International Film Festival (LBIFF) and Infiniti of Lynbrook, Taste on the Beach and Shorts on the Beach, on August 7, 2015 between National Blvd. and Edwards Blvd. in Long Beach NY has the perfect evening in store of the foodie cinema aficionado.

Sample local Long Beach fare and other top regionally based restaurants' finest foods, wine, craft beer and cocktails while rubbing elbows with celebrities such as Liza Huber of “Passions” and Sage Spoonfuls fame as well as renowned culinary masterminds and personalities like Chef Nicole Roarke of Heneghan’s Tavern, Rob Petrone from Verizon Fios1 TV’s Restaurant Hunter and Danny Gagnon from Top Chef.

For the cinematically inclined, the free Shorts on the Beach fest has a wide range of films on display. Among the many interesting titles being featured will include director Brooke Wagstaff’s animated film and Award-winning Vimeo Staff Pick Missing U; an animated tale about the letter “I” and her perilous adventure in search of her missing “U”. As a Long Island highlight, Director Peter Frizalone’s HBO Project Greenlight short Mommy will be making its World Premiere and begging the question “Do you know who is in your house?”.

Other films include director Chris Jordan-Bloch’s documentary on an ever-growing world issue Dryden- The Small Town That Changed the Fracking Game where the power of community takes on the power of fracking. Director/Producer Stephanie Donnelly’s narrative/comedy The Cannoli where a Long Island family dinner turns tragic and a choice must be made between dessert and family. Long Beach International Film Festival Programmer Steve Shor recently said of the event, “The Shorts on the Beach program is a wonderful representation of what is in store for the Long Beach International Film Festival in September.”
