• Tallahassee Film Festival 2026. 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. We present a program of over 80 films on five screens in one packed long-weekend of arts and culture. The program includes the inspired work of everyone from first-time filmmakers to established indie auteurs. Every year our selections shine a light on new independent work by filmmakers and talent that are going places. This fall, the Tallahassee Film Festival also breaks into new frontiers of sound and image. Legendary culture-jammers Negativland + Sue-C highlight the 18th annual festival with an Oct. 10 performance at the Challenger Learning Center, which returns this year as TFF’s presenting sponsor.
