Florida filmmakers, submit your film for a chance to play the 2027 Florida Film Festival!

Audience members will select a film from each CFFS to win the Audience Award for that showcase. These fan favorite films will receive the opportunity to become a part of Enzian’s Brouhaha Film & Video Showcase or, for one lucky winner a year, direct acceptance into the Florida Film Festival’s New Florida Shorts program!

Filmmakers: CFFS is a showcase screening, with no laurels for acceptance or official awards. This preserves premiere status on your film for future festival screenings!

Submit your film (for free!) to Central Florida Film Slam HERE!
