2025 Festival

Lights. Camera. Tallahassee! 

The Tallahassee Film Festival is back and better than ever—bringing the magic of independent cinema and the arts to Florida’s Panhandle! Join us September 26-28, 2025 for all the fun! All-access and VIP passes on sale now!

📅 Three Days. 80+ Films. One Unforgettable Experience.

Join us for another weekend of bold storytelling, visionary filmmaking, live music, and creative celebration. From groundbreaking indie features to thought-provoking documentaries and short films, this year’s lineup is a cinematic journey you won’t want to miss.

How to Attend

Your best option to make the most of your festival experience is to purchase a pass if you plan to see more than a few movies over the weekend. Level-up to a VIP pass to attend all the parties and join the annual filmmaker brunch event. Thanks to our partner Tallahassee Downtown, there are also free entertainment options available during the festival dates including an outdoor screening in the park at night. If you are just in the mood to check out one film, individual tickets can also be purchased to a single film screening (subject to availability). Learn more about all the options to attend below.

Enjoy for Free!

🆓 Come and enjoy the film festival even without a pass! We have partnered with Tallahassee Downtown so a portion of this event will be free and open to the public taking place outdoors in Kleman Plaza on Saturday, September 27. There will be live music acts throughout the day in the park, food vendors, and pop-ups, all capped off in the evening with a free movie screening outdoors of the ’90s favorite, “Empire Records” when the sun goes down. Bring a blanket or chair and settle in!
