Ultimate Film Lover’s Guide to the Beaufort International Film Fest

It is no secret that Beaufort is a movie lover’s paradise. The whole town seems familiar, because you’ve most likely already seen it showcased in your favorite movies. Classic movies from Forrest Gump to Rules of Engagement have been filmed in locations in and around the town. While film enthusiasts come to Beaufort year round, there is one week a year in which more directors, producers, screenwriters, and movie buffs visit for the Beaufort International Film Festival (BIFF). From February 18th-23rd, the festival will highlight new and upcoming filmmakers from around the world. As a sponsor of the Beaufort International Film Festival, we have developed an exciting free Film Fan Package for fellow film fans who stay at the Cuthbert House Inn during the festival. There is a lot going on, but we’ve laid out everything you need to know about this incredible festival.

 

About the Beaufort International Film Fest

Coming up on 14 years, the Beaufort Film Society has gathered film lovers from critics to action movie buffs to take part in a celebration of the art of storytelling through motion picture. Laugh along with short & witty comedies, sit on the edge of your seat during intense dramas, or learn about different cultures with international films. Movies and shorts will be showcased at the Beaufort Center for the Arts at the University of South Carolina – Beaufort which is just a few blocks from downtown.
