BERKSHIRE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, BERKSHIRE BANK, AND THE BEACON CINEMA PRESENT THE 82^nd ACADEMY AWARDS LIVE VIA SATELLITE

Great Barrington – Sunday, March 7^th, the Academy Awards come to the Berkshires! Berkshire International Film Festival, Berkshire Bank, and the Beacon Cinema join together to bring you an exciting Oscar celebration.  

The festivities kick-off at 7pm when the doors to the red carpet open on a night of glamour and fun. The event will take full advantage of the Beacon’s new high-tech, all-digital theater, broadcasting the awards live via satellite. At 8pm, the Oscars will begin with a special video address by Tom Sherak, President of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences. BIFF takes a personal interest in several of the films currently in the running, including documentaries, “Burma VJ” and “Food, Inc.” as well as “In The Loop” up for Best Adapted Screenplay, all films showcased in last year’s festival.  The night’s festivities will include a cocktail buffet, and all will be dressed to impress in red carpet worthy attire. Instead of simply watching from your living room, take advantage of this great chance to be part of the glitz and excitement of the biggest night in Hollywood. This incredible evening of friends, fashion, and film is not to be missed.
