Legendary Heist

When a heart attack strikes the most hateful, money-hoarding harpie in a Brooklyn neighborhood, three rival street gangs hatch a plan to crack her legendary safe. Too bad all three schedule their heist for the same night. Caper makes its world debut tonight at 6 p.m, at Cinema Paradiso for the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (503 SE Sixth St., Fort Lauderdale). It’s a homecoming for director Julian Mark Kheel, who co-wrote the movie with Brett Halsley, chums since they met at Pine Crest School in Boca Raton at age 15. In 2002, their short film, Exceed, took home Best Comedy honors at FLIFF. This is the pair’s first feature-length film. Call 954-525-FILM. General admission costs $9 students / seniors $7, FLIFF members $5.
