The Broward County Film Society, best known as the producers of The Fort Lauderdale Intl Film Festival (FLIFF), Savor Cinema Lauderdale, Cinema Paradiso Hollywood, and FLIFF OnLocation: Florida & The Bahamas...will restore and reopen Fort Lauderdale's famed movie palace, The Gateway Theater.  This, now 4-plex cinema, is 71 years old and hosted the World Premiere of WHERE THE BOYS ARE.

FLIFF is taking on quite a challenge.  Gateway closed due to COVID 19 In March 2020.  To reopen we must raise nearly a half a million dollars for the restoration, plus pay rent of $17K/month (and escalating annually).  We are looking to raise just a portion through GoFundMe.  FLIFF patron, Scott Bennett, began the campaign with $25K in seed money to make our acquisition of Gateway possible.  He was joined by FLIFF Board members, Janet Schwartz and Teri Pattullo who pitched in $5K each.
