ROCKPORT — The Camden International Film Festival is throwing its annual summer party at the Rockport Opera House and film lovers, CIFF supporters and the general public are invited.

Wednesday, July 10, film buffs will be treated to a stylish fête that combines light fare from Swan's Way Catering, Double Cross Vodka cocktails, Breakwater Vineyards wine, Three Tides and Marshall Wharf Brewing Company craft beer and some stellar music courtesy of a DJ accompanying a sneak preview of upcoming films on the CIFF 2013 slate this fall.

CIFF Founder and Director Ben Fowlie said, "The main thing is to get people excited for the main event in the fall. They're going to get an early look at the program. We'll screen about 35 minutes of clips and trailers of movies and shorts."

The party is a fundraiser and tickets start at $125. The party goes from 7 to 9: p.m. For more information and to get tickets visit CIFF Summer Party.
