SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: FLIFF Presents: Sharks
DESCRIPTION:SYNOPSIS: A thief on the verge of self-ruin gets his life thrown upside down when his paths cross with a professional organization. ‘Sharks’ is a black-and-white neo-noir drama-thriller about a man on the margins of society who becomes ensnared in a criminal underworld. What begins as petty theft spirals into a deadly moral unraveling. \n\nDirector Biography – Elias Holgersson\nHaving nurtured a fascination with storytelling since early childhood and making his first short films in his pre-teen years\, Elias Holgersson now makes his feature debut with ‘Sharks’ – a stark\, black-and-white neo-noir drama-thriller. \nDirector Statement\n“I wanted to explore — and better understand — the ‘very thin and easily crossed line’ between one’s ethical-moral compass and the lure of personal ambition\, which can ultimately lead to self-destruction. How easily do we actually abandon our values at the mere taste — or even passing thought — of how much greener the grass might seem on the other side? \nI’m also drawn to the raw concept of ‘East’ & poor and ‘West’ & rich\, in a broader\, societal (worldly\, if you will) context. Words like ‘economic welfare’ and ‘status’ often shape our behavior more than we’d like to admit — and certainly more than we’re willing to confront. \nShot in a stark\, black-and-white noir style and rooted in psychological tension and moral ambiguity\, ‘Sharks’ reflects my interest in outsiders\, systems of control\, and the quiet violence of desperation.” \n  \nWhere:\nSavor Cinema\n503 NE 6th Street\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen:\nFriday\, April 10\, 2026 at 5:30pm\nThursday\, April 16\, 2026 at 7:30pm\nCost:\n$10-$12\nTickets: \nTicket prices vary.

SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: FLIFF Presents: The Spell of Forever
DESCRIPTION:After losing her parents in an earthquake\, 6-year-old Jiaying established a deep relationship with her “grandma” in the new family.\, when she learned that the old lady was illiterate\, \,she began teaching her how to write. and they became best friends. \nAfter a warm period of time\, she suddenly learned that her grandma had cancer and was dying. Besides\, she learned a crueler truth that not only her grandma\, but everyone would die and leave her. \nJust as the pain in her heart could not be relieved she was inspired by the classical Chinese fairy tale “Adventures of Monkey King”. and embarked on a journey to find the mythical “Forever Fruit” for her grandmother. \nDirector Biography\nRyan ZHENG is a director and editor born in Tangshan\, China. \n\nOriginally dreaming of becoming a scientist to explore the world’s mysteries\, then he was ultimately drawn to the magic of cinema and pursued a career in filmmaking. As an editor\, he has worked with renowned directors like Gu Changwei on several acclaimed productions\, such as Changwei Gu <life is a miracle> 2011\, (starring Zhang Ziyi and Aaron Kwok). \nThis film is his first feature-length project as both writer and director. Choosing to set the story in his hometown\, he weaves his own coming-of-age experiences into a narrative that feels deeply personal yet universally resonant. \nZheng’s works carry profound philosophical contemplation through nuanced realist storytelling\, refracting grand humanistic concerns through intimate narratives. His cinema represents the aesthetic aspirations of China’s new generation of filmmakers. \nWhere:\nSavor Cinema\n503 SE 6th Street\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 3301\nWhen:\nSaturday\, April 11\, 2026 at 1:00pm\nThursday\, April 16\, 2026 at 5:30pm\nCost:\n$9-$12\nTickets:\nTicket prices vary.

SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: Chopin Foundation of the United States Presents: CHOPIN for ALL: Charles Richard-Hamelin
DESCRIPTION:Each spring\, the Chopin Foundation presents a showcase of outstanding piano students under the age of 18 from across South Florida. Students are nominated by their teachers and selected through audition by a panel of professionals to participate in this unique all-Chopin program—part of the Foundation’s mission to support and encourage the development of young American pianists. \nThe 2025–2026 season of CHOPIN for ALL continues with one of the series’ most cherished traditions: a special all-Chopin recital showcasing the best young pianists from South Florida. Selected through a competitive audition process\, these exceptional students—recommended by their private piano teachers—take the stage to share their interpretations of Frédéric Chopin’s timeless music. Saturday’s program features performers from Broward and Palm Beach Counties at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center\, while Sunday’s concert highlights Miami-Dade students at Granada Church. \nJoin us for this inspiring program featuring the next generation of pianists. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Chopin Foundation’s 2025–2026 season of CHOPIN for ALL concludes with an extraordinary guest: Canadian pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin\, Silver Medalist and winner of the Krystian Zimerman Prize at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition. Praised for his expressive depth\, elegant phrasing\, and brilliant command of Chopin’s works\, Richard-Hamelin is one of today’s most sought-after interpreters of Romantic piano repertoire. Join us as we close the season with a performance by one of the leading pianists of his generation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPianist Charles Richard-Hamelin is the Silver Medalist and winner of the Krystian Zimerman Prize at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition.
