SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: Dance Now! Presents: Program III Featuring "Love-Less: Dance of the Last Moho Braccatus
DESCRIPTION:Dance NOW! Miami Presents Program III\, featuring “Love-less: Dance of the last Moho braccatus\,” a world premiere from Co-Artistic Director Hannah Baumgarten. This contemporary ballet is based on the story of the small black-and-yellow Hawaiian songbird\, facing extinction due to habitat destruction and climate change. “Love-less” is a contemporary dance depicting a real story of paradise lost\, of true love\, extinction and ultimately of the frailty of our world\, with an original score based on the bird’s calls by Italian composer Federico Bonacossa\, with costumes from the Morales Sisters\, a stunning set high atop the trees from Bruce F. Brown and stirring video art by Co-Director Diego Salterini. \nOrnithologists followed the plight of this endangered species as it careened toward extinction–but were hopeful as a pair of the birds resisted; therein remained a chance that the species would continue. The distinctive mating song of the last pair of these birds was recorded\, with its call and response. In a tragic turn of events\, a hurricane killed the female of the pair\, the male unaware of her fate. The distinctive bell-like call was last heard and recorded in 1987 as the male partner called out for his mate\, unable to understand why she did not respond. \nThe evening will also include audience favorites from the 26th season of dance. \nThis program is sponsored in part by the Broward County Cultural Division\, Funding Arts Broward\, Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs\, and other donors. \nWhere:\nLauderhill Performing Arts Center\n3800 NW 11th Place\nLauderhill\, FL 33311\nWhen:\nFriday\, May 8th at 8:00pm\nCost:\n$20-$50\nTickets:\nTicket prices vary.

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.

The amateur cast includes a dentist\, two travel agents\, a car mechanic and a fast food chain employee who all dream of fame and fortune. Corky writes to various producers and Mr. Mort Guffman will come to the one and only performance and decide whether it will make it to Broadway. \nAbout New City Players: New City Players is a professional\, ensemble-based nonprofit theatre company in Fort Lauderdale\, Florida.

DESCRIPTION:After a powerful earthquake\, Catalina returns to her old family home to help her father\, Domingo\, sell the property following the sudden death of her uncle Héctor. Between them unfolds a space of mourning and reconciliation\, marked by unresolved guilt and inherited silences. In their forced coexistence\, cracks begin to reveal the shadow of Héctor —an absent figure who never truly left. Replicas is a drama of mystery and memory\, where both seismic and human aftershocks threaten to bring down what little still stands. \n\nDirector Biography – Diego Gonzalez\nHe was born in Santiago\, Chile\, in 1981. He began making short films during his university years\, participating in Chilean and international festivals. He studied film at the Escuela de Cine de Chile and attended screenwriting seminars with Robert McKee and Patricio Guzmán\, among others. He has also taught film appreciation and is currently promoting his feature film Replicas (2025). \nDirector Statement\nChile\, one of the most seismically active countries in the world\, lives with a constant awareness of instability. That physical fragility has become part of our emotional identity. In Aftershocks\, this geographic condition symbolizes what we believe to be solid\, yet when shaken over and over\, it exposes what cannot be erased: the fractures that remain beneath the surface. \nIn this film\, I wanted to explore fatherhood\, grief\, guilt\, and shame as telluric forces that stir memory. Catalina and Domingo\, daughter and father\, confront what has been left unsaid —the dead\, the memories\, and the secrets that continue to shift within both their inner worlds and the physical space they inhabit. The house where the story unfolds is a living organism\, a capsule of time that holds within its walls the vibration of what is no longer visible\, yet inevitably rises from its hiding place. \nThe film’s visual language privileges observation and restraint. With a camera guided by precise movements and a contemplative rhythm\, Aftershocks evokes classical cinema —the stillness before the quake. Its autumnal light and suspended spaces invite reflection on how we inhabit our losses\, and how\, in Chile\, even when everything seems stable\, the ground —and memory itself— never truly stops moving. \n  \nWhere:\nSavor Cinema\n503 SE 6th Street\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen:\nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026 at 5:30pm\nSunday\, April 12\, 2026 at 4:15pm\nCost:\n$10-$12\nTickets:\nTicket Prices Vary Click Here to Purchase with FLIFF \nChile / 2025 / Spanish w/English subtitles / 88 min / Drama\, Mystery\, Suspense \nDirector\, Writer: Diego González;  Writer: María Paz Gonzalez; Producers: Sergio Karmy.\nKey Cast: Julio Jung\, Francisca Lewin .

SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: FLIFF Presents: Autisto
DESCRIPTION:Malika is the mother of Adam\, a boy with severe autism. She lives in constant fear of one day leaving him behind. Her life swings between terror\, loneliness\, uncertainty\, and outbursts—yet also love\, complicity\, hope\, and fleeting freedom. After a tragic event\, Malika considers placing Adam in a specialized facility. In her despair\, an unexpected encounter changes everything. \nMahmoud\, a cemetery keeper with torn clothes and a wild gaze\, speaks with the dead at night and dances to music by day. He and Adam bond instantly\, communicating not with words but with their souls. They grow inseparable\, sharing wild adventures. But their closeness soon becomes unsettling\, and Malika\, uneasy with this new friendship\, finally asks Mahmoud to stay away from her son. \n\nDirector Biography – Jerome Cohen-Olivar\nHe spent most of his childhood in Morocco where he shot small horror films (LITTLE HORROR MOVIE) in Super 8MM before leaving for Los Angeles. He studied college at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and later at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. \nHer first short film SUSAN SUSAN\, a satire about illegal immigration to the United States\, was bought by Disney. He produced his first feature film\, UNVEILED. The film was not as successful as expected in cinemas but sold well on video.

Jerome decides to recover his script and produce it himself. Jérôme is currently working on several projects including the highly anticipated AUTISTO \nDirector Statement\nThe film “AUTISTO” directed by Jérôme Cohen-Olivar presents several interesting perspectives including the Exploration of new narrative and visual horizons especially as Morocco offers a picturesque and diverse setting. This provides a visually captivating backdrop for the film’s history\, which can enrich the cinematic experience and offer new narrative possibilities. \nAUTISTO is also embarking on Autism Awareness in a different cultural context: Locating the film in Morocco would explore the specific challenges and opportunities faced by people with autism in that country or in other similar cultural contexts. This could help raise awareness of autism in a way that takes into account cultural nuances and local realities. However\, there is also International Collaboration and Cultural Exchange: Making a film in Morocco usually involves collaboration with Moroccan film professionals\, which can promote the exchange of ideas\, techniques and experiences between international and local production teams. This can enrich the creative process and result in a more diverse and authentic end product. \nTourism and Local Film Industry Promotion: Shooting a film in Morocco can also help promote tourism in the country by showcasing its natural and cultural attractions. In addition\, it can boost the local film industry by providing employment opportunities and \ndrawing attention to the talent and resources available in the country. Not to mention increased international visibility: If the film is well received\, it could benefit from increased international visibility due to its location in Morocco and the country’s growing reputation as an attractive location for international film productions. \n  \nWhere:\nSavor Cinema\n503 SE 6th Street\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen: \nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026 at 7:30pm\nSunday\, April 12\, 2026 at 2:00pm\nCost:   \n$9-$12\nTickets:\nTicket prices vary.
