Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival will hold a 75th-anniversary celebration for 20th Century Fox, and there’s no better way to kick it off than with the Citizen Kane of the teen comedy genre: Porky’s. Because the movie was filmed right in our own back yard — specifically Miami Senior High School, Greynolds Park, and the old Miami Beach Senior High School — FLIFF will also host an afterparty, Q&A session, and “class reunion” with Porky’s cast and crew members. So revisit the onscreen shenanigans of Pee Wee, Wendy, and Balbricker, who gave entirely new meaning to the term pulled pork. If you took part in the filming, contact FLIFF and let them know your role. Note: Saying you were Pauly the Penis probably won’t work. The porking begins at 7 p.m. this Saturday at Cinema Paradiso.
