The Long Beach International Film Festival (LBIFF) rears its head again as a South Shore staple Sept. 24-27. The annual festival allows Long Islanders to be a part of the major film scene without having to trek into Manhattan. This year’s lineup of more than 80 films comes from around the globe and because of the expansion of programming the event will spill over into Rockville Centre. With so much to see and so little time these are the hot-ticket flicks you won’t want to miss.
