Cocnours: Hollywood Meets Horsepower at the Grand Motoring Film Festival
Rolling out the red carpet
The festival kicks off in style from 5-9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, with a glamorous red carpet event. The 8th annual Grand Motoring Film Festival, held at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, celebrates the fusion of Oscar-worthy elegance and high-octane cinematic thrills. Guests can indulge in heavy hors d’oeuvres, enjoy a cocktail cash bar, admire classic and collector cars, explore sponsor exhibits and witness the theatrical premiere of this year’s headliner, Chrysler Turbine Car.
Filmmakers from around the world have submitted their documentaries, web videos, brand films and TV shows to the festival, with an on-site awards ceremony honoring the best motoring films of the year.
“This event is a great experience,” says festival communications coordinator Kelly B. Smith. “It’s a Hollywood affair for people who want to experience automotive and cinematic arts.”
