Subtropic Film Festival is dedicated to uniting the South Florida filmmaking community in West Palm Beach while developing a sustainable ecosystem for the independent film industry in the region.

Our mission is to foster independent filmmaking throughout the year by actively collaborating with film collectives, local filmmakers, art institutions, and other film festivals.

We create spaces where filmmakers and cinephiles can connect and engage in meaningful conversations.
