The Lighthouse International Film Festival is expanding to five days this year, from Wednesday, June 7 to Sunday, June 11.

The festival almost had to add an extra date to its menu considering its film screeners had to wade through more than 600 entries to pick out its 2023 lineup. Film fans will be able to get a sneak peek at that lineup from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 5 when a gala fundraiser will be held to support the LIFF.
