Naples International Film Festival Proudly Announces That "The Cove" Will be Screened at Their Inaugural Opening Night Gala on November 5, 2009
Naples, FL, September 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Naples International Film Festival is proud to announce that “The Cove” will screen at their opening night gala November 5, 2009, at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts.
Fresh from winning awards at Sundance, Sydney, Nantucket, Blue Ocean and Maui Film Festivals this year, the film will kick off the inaugural season of the Naples International Film Festival in Naples, Florida.
"The Cove” follows former dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry (of “Flipper” fame) down the road in his search for redemption after realizing the deeply sensitive, highly aware creatures should not be subjected to human captivity. His mission takes him to Taiji, Japan where a multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment industry has given birth to fisherman who engage in exploiting the creature. He carries on an undercover, underwater operation to photograph the off-limits cove to unveil the truth of the operation.
The movie offers a provocative mix of investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery that adds up to an urgent plea for help.
The movie that Roger Ebert gives Oscar potential to is the perfect film to kick off the Naples International Film Festival: four days of the finest independent film set to play at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, Silverspot Luxury Cinema at Mercato, The Norris Center, The Von Liebig Center, and the Naples Backyard History, with parties and after-parties all over Naples celebrating the art of film.
Join director of the film, Louie Psihoyos, for a Q&A and meet and greet as you mix and mingle with the rest of the directors, producers, actors and actresses from The Naples International Film Festival by purchasing tickets today by calling the Philharmonic Center for the Arts at (800) 597-1700 during regular business hours.
