2021 TFF Award Winners Announced!

The Tallahassee Film Festival held its 13th annual festival this weekend with almost 50 films from around the world and the US. It was a blast to be able to finally get back together again and watch movies with fresh voices and boundary-pushing creative perspectives. The audience and our directors had some tough choices to make this awards season, but we’re excited to share these winners after last night’s awards ceremony. A big thank you to our Florida Filmmaker Award co-sponsor, Flamingo Magazine. Be on the lookout for an article about this year’s winner in their upcoming issue.

Testimonials

This festival benefits from a great and knowledgeable team. Despite it being fairly new, their programming was really good and we enjoyed all of the Q&As with some top documentary filmmakers. Definitely worth the submission fee!

TFF is a great, intimate festival with a diverse audience. It is everything a film festival should be.

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

Although I couldn’t make it to the festival because of crazy work schedule, I enjoyed the way this festival supports independent films and encourages Cinema as art rather than nonsense agenda which is very common among festivals these days.
