Nearly 200 hours of film to be seen!

For 2003, the Florida Film Festival has pulled together an amazing line up of films, including the American Independent competition films, international films, midnight films, family films, and numerous other sidebars. The competition contains features, short films, and documentaries from the great minds of American independent filmmaking competing for audience and jury awards. These films have been hand picked from hundreds and hundreds of entries, and many are making their premiere at the festival. More than likely, the filmmaker will be sitting in the audience with you, eager to answer questions after the screening.
