The Lighthouse International Film Festival is proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the American classic,
Born on the Fourth of July. This unforgettable masterpiece, directed by Oliver Stone, garnered 8 Academy Award nominations, winning 2 Oscars for Best Directing and Best Film Editing. This is one of Tom Cruise’s most powerful performances, ever.
