About the festival

The film submission, if selected, will be screened during our digital programming January 11th - 17th, 2021, and be considered for an award judged by our Official Judges Board. Should group gathering restrictions lift in the United States, we will program the Official Selection of 2021 in a movie theatre style setting. The show must go on. #ReelGoodMovies

The Dunedin International Film Festival is a platform for filmmakers to share their original content with the Florida film makers community. We accept films of all lengths and they are organized by category. We specialize in Reel Good Movies.
