The Floating Film Festival enjoyed its 16th voyage earlier this month, taking place aboard the Silver Seas liner with a program of 25 feature films and docs
The Floating Film Festival, an event that Roger Ebert once called the “most prestigious and least pretentious film festival in the world,” just wrapped its latest edition, with the Oscar-nominated dramaThe Floating Film Festival, a biannual event that casts cinephiles and filmmakers across the Caribbean on a luxury cruise liner, was co-founded in 1991 by the late Dusty Cohl alongside Ebert and the late Time Magazine film critic Richard Corliss.
The Floating Film Festival also honoured actor Elliot Gould with its Icon Award, with the prolific actor attending the onboard tribute gala. “I love film festivals, but what makes this festival so special is the intimacy of a group of film lovers discussing and debating each film with their only care being when the next film is screening versus parking, line ups and sold out screenings,” Avrich told The Globe and Mail. “And Gould was a treasure sparing no detail on his storied career with tales of working with Robert Altman and Igmar Bergman, and his personal relationship with Barbra Streisand.
