The Flagler Film Festival was formed to showcase the work of new and emerging filmmakers as well as more experienced filmmakers. We believe there are many creative and innovative artists who deserve recognition for their efforts, especially those constrained by low budgets. We believe that sometimes even more creativity is required when a filmmaker has little or no budget with which to create a film. We believe these films should be seen and be recognized for the efforts of the teams that put them together. The writers, directors, crew, actors and all the talented people involved in the production of a film, whether it is a feature or a short, deserve to have a chance to be seen. We are proud to give filmmakers an opportunity to show their work.
Our fourth annual Flagler Film Festival showcased many fantastic films from around the world, including a short animation which was nominated this year for an Academy Award! Films produced by students from Florida State University, NYU, University of Virginia, Savannah College of Art & Design, Full Sail University, and the American Film Institute were screened as well as films from graduates of many other fine colleges and universities. We were proud to showcase local filmmakers as well as filmmakers from such diverse locations as Luxembourg, Spain, France, Rwanda, Australia, Nepal, Canada, Serbia, Iran, and Peru. As an artistic community, we enjoy including musicians, writers and artists at our festival as well as filmmakers. This year our special guest was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Steve Boone, of the '60's band The Lovin' Spoonful. Steve met many of our audience and signed CDs, albums and his new book, "Hotter than a Match Head: On the Run with the Lovin' Spoonful." We showcased a short comedy from actor Chris Roach who currently stars on CBS in "Kevin Can Wait" with Kevin James. One of our documentaries, "Daddy Don't Go" was recently picked up by Starz and will be available to the public!
The third annual Flagler Film Festival was proud to showcase amazing films from around the world. We had a film about a Grammy-nominated children's choir from Uganda called "Imba Means Sing" (now in national distribution), a documentary film by an Emmy Award winning filmmaker, a film narrated by the Academy Award winning, legendary actress Olivia De Havilland, two films which won student Emmy Awards and two films which were screened at the Cannes Short Film Corner. We were very proud to be the only festival in Florida to screen "Animals" an independent feature film written by and starring David Dastmalchian (Ant Man, The Dark Knight) now in national distribution. In addition, we had a terrific assortment of low budget, independent and student films which amazed our audience. Over 20 films had representation at the festival with lively, emotional and intelligent Q&As after the screenings. See our website for videos of the Q&As in addition to the list of films, extensive press and awards.
So far, two of our Best Documentary Feature Nominees from our 3rd Annual Festival have announced national distribution deals. Both "My Father's Vietnam" (winner) and nominee "Mount Lawrence" will be seen this spring on VOD platforms as well as other formats, including theatrical. Please see their websites or IMDb for more info and congratulations to them from the festival!
Our second annual festival showcased excellent student and small budget films as well as films with extraordinary credentials, including a film written by two-time Academy Award winning screenwriter, Horton Foote (To Kill a Mockingbird). We were proud to have as our special guest, Laura Tyler, make up artist known for her work on "Face Off" and "Hunger Games." She did a special live demonstration for our audience by turning an actor into a zombie! Also in attendance was actress Evalena Marie (Serena and the RATTS, Dark Haul, Remains) representing the indie feature "Visionary." Our festivities concluded with a champagne awards celebration on our last evening.
We are very proud that several of our official selections from our first two years have received distribution and can be seen on Blu-Ray, DVD and streaming sites. Many of our selected films have gone on to win many awards at festivals around the world. We wish much success to all the filmmakers out there!

Renny has appeared in or starred in 47 films and over 400 television episodes in his career. He is currently producing new projects in the Flagler County area. He also mentors college students and does charity work. We are thrilled to have his support and through his worldwide contacts in the film industry, we will be expanding our presence in the festival world.
Flagler Film Festival was inspired by the amazingly talented people we have met who perform all the hard work that is required to make a film. We recognize that there are many creative filmmakers who are looking for a place to showcase their work. We are located in a relaxed, pristine beach area with community members who support the arts. Galleries, live theater and now a film festival are part of our small city located in beautiful Flagler County, Florida. Our coastal location is within a short distance to many Florida attractions. If you are a filmmaker who has drive and talent, who is looking for a place to show your work, and is interested in Florida sunshine in January, we hope that you will submit your film for consideration in our festival.

Dalla 18a edizione, con nuovi membri nell'organizzazione, vogliamo dare un grande impulso al festival.

Questa collaborazione si svolge in questo modo: tutti i cortometraggi selezionati possono essere proiettati localmente (collaboratore collaboratore) contemporaneamente allo sviluppo del Festival e i loro voti serviranno per assegnare il premio del pubblico.

Exciting, creative content is more important to us than slick production values. With comedy, if you make them laugh, audiences won't care if you filmed your masterpiece on your uncle the swinger's 1980s video camera.
London and the UK has a long, illustrious history of comedy from The Canterbury Tales to Monty Python. It is also a global centre for production companies and talent agencies that are looking for new talent to provide comedy content for the ever expanding market of online entertainment, digital content marketing and advertising. We have a database of these companies and agencies and update them about the talented filmmakers participating in our festival.
Most importantly though, the films we screen aim to entertain our festival audiences so we have some important criteria for the films we show:
GET TO THE FUNNY BITS QUICKLY.
BE ORIGINAL AND AVOID CLICHES.
"Brevity is the soul of wit" William Shakespeare
(and he knows better than us because he wore tights)
Being able to share great, undiscovered comedy films is a real buzz and delight for us and our festival is an essential calendar feature both for audiences wishing to have some great nights of laughter and for the discovery of new comedy creators.
All participants in our festival (if they wish) will have their contact details along with their film details made available to our industry database.

FesticineKids 27 è un festival internazionale di film per bambini e giovani a Cartagena de Indias, è un concorso cinematografico che orienta i suoi sforzi verso il rafforzamento della produzione e della distribuzione del cinema colombiano, latinoamericano e mondiale per bambini e giovani.
Nel 2025, FesticineKids raggiunge la sua 27a edizione con lo stesso spirito di mettere in risalto e celebrare il cinema per ragazze, ragazzi e giovani. La frase è stata scelta come slogan: I VALORI DEI NOSTRI BAMBINI. Partendo da questo concetto si intende invitare bambini e giovani a essere consapevoli della responsabilità che hanno di essere agenti di cambiamento nei loro ambienti. I bambini e i giovani sono il futuro che dovrebbe incoraggiare la cura del nostro pianeta terra, degli esseri umani che li circondano, degli animali e delle piante, nonché dei luoghi che visitano. La tendenza ai film afro e a quelli orientati alle popolazioni indigene.
Nella costruzione del profilo del FesticineKids 27, lo schermo viene problematizzato come punto di confluenza di ragazze, ragazzi e adolescenti. Postulando il cinema come quello scenario in cui si esprimono sentimenti, emozioni e convinzioni, si intende che ragazze, ragazzi e adolescenti, comprendendo ciò che il cinema li evoca, cosa ne estraggono e i suoi significati, si interrogino sul posto che il cinema ha nella loro vita, nel loro ambiente, parallelamente al luogo che vogliono e sognano.
È anche un'opportunità per adulti, genitori, insegnanti, autorità culturali e cinematografiche, di riflettere sulla necessità di rafforzare le loro capacità di essere formatori in tensione e interazione con i media audiovisivi, in particolare il cinema.
Il primo e il più importante Festival Freak in Spagna. Accettiamo anche horror e film fantastico. Con un pubblico di 1.800 persone ogni giorno dal lunedì al venerdì e ci piacerebbe proiettare i vostri cortometraggi.
