FilmGate Festival
Florida's longest-running monthly short film series, created to celebrate local culture, diversity and regional creativity that goes month-to-month with a theme specific per month.
Every every last Wednesday of the month, FilmGate Miami highlights Florida's community of actors, filmmakers, and video + audio production studios. We accept short films, documentaries, music videos and web series from Florida or made by a Florida citizen, 20 minutes or less.
The event also features our famous Percolator networking event, where you can meet Florida's film scene face-to-face and pitch your film ideas to the broad community of talent!
