Submit your film for a chance to play the 2025 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! 

In addition to playing the Enzian big screen, CFFS filmmakers and attendees will have access to information sessions and workshops highlighting filmmaking and festival essentials, including must-know festival information from the official Florida Film Festival programming team. Information and dates for these sessions will be posted on Enzian’s website and the Central Florida Film Slam Facebook group as they are announced.

Filmmakers, join our Facebook Discussion Group here to connect with our team, as well as other Florida filmmakers!

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