Today, Gasparilla International Film Festival (GIFF) announced its full 2024 lineup and red carpet guests, including Grammy-nominated rapper Quavo who’ll be in town for the word premiere of “Cash Out,” his new film with John Travolta.
Quavo, along with Travolta along with other “Cash Out” actors Lukas Haas, Natali Yura, and Noel Gugliemi, are set to appear at Tampa Theatre on Thursday, March 21 for the opening night of GIFF and the movie’s debut.
A press release calls “Cash Out” a “fun, smart and witty cat-and-mouse heist film in the spirit of the classic Steve McQueen-Faye Dunaway thriller ‘The Thomas Crown Affair.’”
Closing night on Sunday, March 24 will feature the Florida premiere of director Andrew Currie’s “The Invisibles” at Tampa Theatre. Both Currie and actor Tim Blake Nelson will attend.
Tickets to GIFF happening Thursday-Sunday, March 21-24 are on sale now and start at $15.
Filmmakers submitted in nine categories: narrative short films and features, Tampa Bay short films, made-in-Florida features, documentary shorts and features, high school and college films.
Close to two dozen feature-length films, along with almost 100 shorts, are slated to screen not just at Tampa Theatre on opening night, but also at the University of Tampa’s Charlene A. Gordon Theater and AMC Westshore. GIFF, now in its 17th year, also includes a handful of panels and four parties.
“We are very excited to announce this year’s film selection. We believe this is the best lineup yet and will appeal to all film lovers in the Tampa Bay Area and those who are visiting from out of town,” Monica Varner, GIFF’s Executive Director, wrote in a press release.
