Henry Maldonado, President of Enzian and the Florida Film Festival, remarked, “Twenty five years, and still getting better! For ten glorious days, we’ll have parties, movie stars, even a farmer’s market, and of course, movies. Those of you who come year after year know it and love it. So, for those of you who have not been, our friendly festival is filled with charming, fun days where you can mingle with great filmmakers and talent.”
Florida Film Festival is not only bringing the most films ever programmed to this years festival but bringing the Girl Power with 59 female film makers!
“I just love the diversity and filmmaking talent that will be on display in this year’s lineup,” commented Matthew Curtis, Florida Film Festival Programming Director. “With the most films we’ve ever programmed in one FFF, the most countries ever represented, the most female filmmakers (59), and an exciting mix of new voices and 35 FFF alumni returning with outstanding new work, this promises to be a truly banner year as we celebrate our 25th anniversary.”
Don't forget the special guests and events!
Festival Block Party Saturday, April 9 3-5PM
Sponsored by Winter Park Village
THE PUFFY CHAIR (a two-time Independent Spirit Award nominee and winner of the Audience Award at SXSW) smartly revitalizes both the relationship and road trip genres with tart wit, unblinking honesty, and brilliant comedic instinct.
Mr. Mark Duplass will be in attendance for a Q&A after the film. General Admission tickets are available or you can buy a Backstage Pass, which includes the event, along with a meet & greet and photo opportunity afterwards. Please supply your own camera for the photo opportunity.
Locally Fresh!
Sunday, April 10, 11AM-12:30PM
An Evening with Sissy Spacek, featuring Badlands
Equal parts storybook romance and American horror story, the film is carried by Spacek’s wistful voiceover—a blend of poetic reminiscence and contemporaneous naïveté. Hailed by critics as a “ferociously American film,” BADLANDS has since gone on to become one of the most respected films of the 1970s.
