The Newport Beach Film Festival is Back in its 18th Year

In its 18th year, the Newport Beach Film Festival is more excited than ever for the eight day extravaganza happening April 20th - April 27th. Every year the Newport Beach Film Festival gets a little better and better and this year is no different. The NBFF received submissions from all around the world with the very top notch quality and creativity. Due to cutting edge technology, visual and overall quality improvements have been made and the line between professional and amateur movies is quickly diminishing. The films are so good that it makes the decisions quite difficult for which films will be featured.

The Film Fest features films of a wide variety such as short films, long films, documentaries and music videos. These films come from a variety of categories from art and architecture to sci-fi to drama to horror. Films are also separated into two different categories of Official and Unofficial. Official films are ones that are competing against other films in their categories and unofficial films are submitted by youth and college applicants. Opening night this year will feature a film that tells the exciting story of an extreme surfer from the United States directed by Rory Kennedy's called "Take Every Wave".
