2020 Jacksonville Film Festival

Overview

Dear Filmmakers and Guests,

Film Festivals are a destination for filmmakers, guests, volunteers, and audiences alike. They provide opportunities where you can share ideas, watch films created by filmmakers from all over the world and a platform for indie filmmakers to showcase their work. COVID-19 has turned everyone’s life upside down. It has affected everyone and sadly it’s still affecting our daily lives. 

Our team strongly believes that a Film Festival is an experience, and we want everyone to have a great experience when they come to the Jacksonville Film Festival. Due to COVID-19 we have decided to reschedule this year's festival to early 2021. The new date will be announced at a later time. 

What all this means: 

All films submitted will still be considered. We are just pushing the event date forward. Due to the extension, we have new submission dates -- The Extended Late Deadline now ends August 31, 2020. The Notifications Date will now be September 30, 2020. 

We apologize if this is an inconvenience, but we think this is the best way to help our community, guests and filmmakers affected by COVID. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our team

See you all in 2021

Stay Safe,

Jacksonville Film Festival Team
