The 2022 Tallahassee Film Festival takes place September 3-4 at multiple venues downtown and in the All Saints district between FAMU and FSU.

Past years have included Denis Villeneuve (Dune), Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), Barry Jenkins (The Underground Railroad), Zoe Lister-Jones (The Craft Legacy), Joe Swanberg (Easy), Paolo Sorrentino (The Young Pope), Kat Candler (Queen Sugar), and Khalik Allah (Lemonade).

Testimonials

Our experience with the 2021 Tallahassee Film Festival was second to none! Chris, Jennifer, and everyone else were incredibly hospitable, communicative, and just all-around nice people (who clearly love movies). This has definitely been the best film festival I’ve ever entered, and they have the most welcoming, wonderful people involved.

Jake Brown, Filmmaker

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it in person - but the virtual presence was robust and extremely easy to navigate ! Really grateful for the online component. Great communication overall. Sounds like the in person audience was a blast. Thanks for having my film !

A festival which celebrates cinema and how! So much support and love for every film screened! Can't wait to be back again!

Tathagata Ghosh, Filmmaker

Unfortunately I didn't get to attend TFF 2019 but the line-up looked amazing! They kept us in the loop about our screening and RT our posts to promote the fest. Seems like a great group of movie lovers who appreciate edgy content that promotes new voices. Would definitely submit again.
