Greg von Hausch, President and CEO of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF), began the French Film Festival seven years ago, because of his passion for French Film and the ability through Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival’s relationship with Cannes Film Festival where FLIFF has held an annual Beach Party since 1991. FLIFF produces the French Film Festival each year. Perrier was the initial sponsors of the French Film Festival seven years ago. Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF) has kept the name though Perrier’s involvement has evolved over the years from a cash sponsor to a product sponsor. Elliot Canter, a member and one of the leading FLIFF and Cinema Paradiso patrons, has become a major sponsor of the Perrier French Film Festival and other films during the annual Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, now in its 23rd year. The 2008 annual month-long cinematic event will be held October 17 - November 9.
