From April 24th - May 1st, 2014, the 15th annual Newport Beach Film Festival will showcase over 300 films from across the globe and host a wide array of multicultural events. Celebrated as Orange County's premiere film event, the Newport Beach Film Festival attracts over 53,000 attendees from around the world who come together to experience the ultimate cinematic experience along the pristine coastline of Southern California.

Each year the Festival hosts nightly International Spotlight events in Newport Beach. The Italian Spotlight will pay homage to the film industry and celebrate the extensive Italian history and culture whose influence has inspired many aspects of art across all mediums. The evening will feature a film screening, followed by a gala celebration of Italian film, food and culture. We will toast the evening away with a diverse crowd of filmmakers, actors, and film aficionados.
