The Lighthouse International Film Society will host a different type of program rather than its regular screening of a feature film or several shorts at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 1 at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences in Loveladies.  It’s called “Ten Films That Shaped American Comedy,” which promises “an evening of iconic comedy – curated, celebrated and shared.”

Lighthouse International Film Festival Executive Director Will Kuhn will explore the evolution of comedy films.
