FilmGate Festival

The FilmGate Festival is the longest-running monthly short film series in Florida, created to celebrate local culture, diversity and regional creativity. Every 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.

This Festival will be taking place at the Silverspot Cinema located at 300 SE 3rd St #100, Miami, FL 33131.

THE RULES:
- For Florida Filmmakers only or Florida-based films (at least for now)
- 20 minutes or less
- free submissions for Filmgate Miami members and students, ask us for a waver
- Florida producer or Director needs to be present at the screening of their film and for the Q&A

The screening takes place on the last Wednesday of each month.

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!
