From directors Charlie Chaplin to Tim Robbins, the film series is the biggest lineup ever screened on the beach.
The film series and its outdoor under-the-stars theatrical screening component were created by the Miami Design Preservation League with assistance from the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and its director, Gregory Von Hausch.
