2019 LIFF Will Feature a Dance Concert and Screening of a 30-Year-Old Classic

The Lighthouse International Film Festival is adding a couple of new twists in 2019.

The LIFF, like most film festivals, always attempts to have directors, producers, screenwriters, actors or subjects of documentaries participate in a Q&A following the screening of their films.

One of this year’s films, the 29-minute documentary “To Make a Long Story Short,” directed by Sal Del Giudice and Jeff Sternberger, tells the story of one of the Shore’s most popular party bands, Shorty Long & the Jersey Horns, and the band’s leader, the diminutive and wheelchair-bound Richard “Shorty Long” Tisch.
