## Lighthouse International Film Festival

[**Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF)**](https://www.lighthouseff.com/) is a nonprofit, five-day film festival held annually on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, bringing together independent filmmakers from around the world to share bold, innovative stories in a relaxed, beachside setting. The festival features narrative and documentary films, shorts, episodic pilots, genre selections, surf-related content, and student work, along with panels, Q&As, masterclasses, networking events, and surf-culture–inspired celebrations.

LBIF serves as one of the festival’s primary screening venues. Specifically, it hosts select film screenings during the festival, bringing cinematic stories directly into the heart of LBI’s cultural landscape.
