Be a Part of a Unique Festival That’s Always Unforgettable

There’s an array of film festivals that have gained notoriety across the nation and globe that happen each year, but it’s fair to say that the Florida Film Festival has a certain something special to offer. To start, it’s one of only a handful of film festivals designed to be an Oscar-qualifying event! In total, filmmakers have the potential to earn awards within three specific categories that could potentially lead to an Oscar nod down the road. These categories include Live Action Shorts, Film and Documentary Short Subjects as well as Animated Short Films. Winners in each of these categories are subsequently announced for the Grand Jury Award and the following year, those who have earned the top prize are automatically qualified to enter the Academy Awards.

Forums and Events That Define Festival Fun

The cinematic moments are always unforgettable at the Florida Film Festival but over the course of this 10-day event, participants also have the option of taking part in a variety of innovative forums. Social and educational gatherings designed to bring the best minds in the industry together are also on the agenda while it’s hard to overlook the fact that the block parties and welcome parties are always a delight!
