Fresh off the success of the 2010 Gasparilla International Film Festival, the film-happy folks over at GIFF are set to launch this year's edition of the Global Lens film series.

Screenings will take place the second Thursday of each month at the brand new (and spectacular) Tampa Museum of Art, with the first screening (of Iranian import My Tehran For Sale) set for next Thursday, April 8.
