For cinema lovers, Orlando is the place to be this April. As a result of its moderate climate and year-round sunshine, this area has a long film history. But now is the time to book flights to Florida, because the Florida Film Festival 2010 is promising to be an unforgettable experience.

This year's theme is Film Sweet Film so the festival will be all about the comforts of home and the foods that go along with it. The vibrant event will take off on Friday 9th of April with the premiere of Paper Man, a beautiful tragicomedy by Michele and Kieran Mulroney, followed by a mouthwatering banquet with a Southern accent, cooked up by the best chefs in the area. For ten days, visitors can see the premieres of the cream of the crop when it comes to both American independent and foreign films. The Florida Film Festival is renowned for its friendly atmosphere and every year film fanatics are surprised how easy it is to socialize with famous filmmakers, promising newcomers in the industry and other people with a genuine passion for film.

Apart from the festival, there are numerous fascinating things film lovers can see and do in Orlando. For example, if you loved the classic Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, you can visit Gatorland, the alligator breeding marsh where it was filmed. The Universal Studios Florida is also worth a visit. The theme park features lots of live events such as concerts, parades and Blue Man Group's theatrical shows, and film-based attractions such as Twister... Ride it Out, Shrek 4-D, Universal's Horror Make-Up Show and Revenge Of The Mummy: The Ride. Universal Studios Florida is also a working production studio where films such as Beethoven's Big Break and The Final Destination were produced.

So, if films are your way to unwind, Florida is where you want to go this spring. For those who prefer to travel during the summer holidays, flythomascook will also offer extra flights to Orlando (Sanford) from Manchester, Gatwick, Belfast and Glasgow, with prices from 479 pounds.
