The Lighthouse International Film Society has released its autumn schedule of screenings at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies. It is eclectic and, according to Lighthouse International Film Festival Managing Director Christine Rooney, electric.

DEEP DIVE: ‘Patrick and the Whale’ documents an awe-inspiring love story between Patrick Dyksta and Delores, the whale.

The season kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14 with the screening of “Patrick and the Whale,” a documentary that is also sort of a human-cetacean love story.
