The 15th annual Tallahassee Film Festival takes place September 2-3, 2023, at multiple venues downtown and in the Railroad Square arts district between FAMU and FSU. Each year, the festival offers a showcase for fresh discoveries of new and fiercely independent work – often with the filmmakers in attendance. 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).

TFF is wonderful festival that cultivates an intimate space where filmmakers can really make a one-to-one connection. It's about friends and cinephiles hanging out and sharing a passion. Highly recommended and I hope to be back soon. All the best.

Tathagata Ghosh, Filmmaker
TFF is one of my favorite festivals. Great programming, engaged audiences, and the perfect environment to connect with other filmmakers. Watching Lost Highway on an IMAX screen was one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. Chris, Jennifer, Steve and the whole crew have put together something special that I felt lucky to be a part of.
