Festival History
The Fire Island Golden Wagon Film Festival debuted in August 2003 with over 750 people in attendance to honor Tony Randall, a long time Fire Islander. The three day event showcased Mr. Randalls illustrious career by screening Lover Come Back and Down With Love, two films which he personally selected. Mr. Randall shared his experiences in film, TV and theatre by fielding questions during a Q&A at the Ocean Beach Marina. The festival was a huge success, creating an enormous air of excitement unlike any other community event.
The 2005 Festival was a HUGE success. With a three and a half story high outdoor movie screen, the festival was literally the biggest thing in Ocean Beach! An audience of over 1200 people enjoyed the many short films, documentaries and feature films showcased at the ballfield and the beautifully restored Community House Theatre. The Red Wagon Children and Family Film Festival, sponsored by Brooklyn International Film Festival's kidsfilmfest, was presented to a standing-room only crowd. Lisa King, from the kidsfilmfest, and her family were on-hand to introduce the movies to the very excited crowd. The festival culminated in a closing party sponsored by Scott Hirsch of the Island Mermaid and Suffolk County's Office of Cultural Affairs.
