More Than 80 Films Set for International Fest in Newport

The second Newport Beach International Film Festival opens tonight with the world premiere of the director’s cut of Wolfgang Petersen’s 1981 film about a German U-boat, “Das Boot.” The new version adds about an hour of previously unseen footage.

The festival comprises more than 80 films--from shorts to full-length features and documentaries to Clio Award-winning commercials--by independent filmmakers from 25 countries, screening at 10 theaters around the county.
