The Terrace Theatre on James Island will host the 5th Annual Charleston Film Festival March 13th-17th. With a variety of full-length features and regional shorts, the lineup has proven to be quite impressive. The world premier of local film Shifter (15 min), written and produced by a Terrace employee, will open the festival on Thursday night. In addition to the 11 regional shorts, the full-length film Beyond Sight (91 min) will also be shown Friday March, 14th at 7:00pm. This inspirational movie tells the true story of blind surfer Derek Rabelo who relies on his faith to get him through life's rough seas. To get patrons through their rough seas, a surf board will be raffled off Friday night after the movie.
Other special events include the screening of Our Man in Tehran, a documentary that tells the story behind last year's Oscar winner, Argo, and a guest appearance by Bill Daugherty, the CIA agent on whom the story is based. Daugherty will share his first-hand account of what it was like to be a part of the Iranian Hostage Crisis and to be held captive for 444 days. This event is limited, and tickets will be $15.00.
