The IFF Opening Night party promises to be a memorable evening filled with great food, fantastic cocktails and wine, music and raucous live auction hosted by WCCO news anchorman Frank Vascellaro. Ask anyone who attended last year's lively IFF opening night: It's a not-to-be-missed event.

Don't wait until the last minute--tickets are going fast! Tickets for the Opening Night Party will be available for purchase ONLINE until WEDNESDAY, FEB. 25 AT 10 PM! (Depending upon availability, tickets for the party will also be available for purchase at the door.)

Opening night festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. in the beautiful Aster Café's River Room, 125 SE Main St., Minneapolis. Following the party and auction, the Italian films kick off with a screening of Smetto, Quando, Voglio (I Can Quit Whenever I Want), a charming comedy that's quickly become a cult hit in Italy. Fast paced and lighthearted, Smetto is a window into the precarious world of youth unemployment.
