What's the Big Deal About Beethoven?

Music
Everyone has heard of Beethoven. He wrote the famous "V for Victory" tune and a bunch of other stuff. A dog movie was named after him. In real life (1770-1827) he was a slob with bad hair who was such a lousy neighbor and tenant that he was forced to move more than forty times. He dressed shabbily, was rude and disobedient, and cheated his publishers when he could. What could a man such as this have to offer us in 2018?

The Beaufort International Film Festival Marks a Dozen, February 21-25

Interview by Mark Shaffer

"Everything I learned I learned from the movies." - Audrey Hepburn

The scene takes place in downtown Beaufort in the wee small hours of a clear February night. A small group of people spill out of Breakwater Restaurant and Bar onto the deserted sidewalks of Carteret Street. The last of the After Party holdouts mill about and shuffle, exchange hugs, promises, last laughs and a few tears. Wearily and reluctantly they part and fade into the night and the 11^th annual Beaufort International Film Festival is officially over.
