Programmed by Host & Producer, Jen Vargas
Now in its 12th year, local filmmaker screening series, FilmSlam at Enzian Theater continues to celebrate the independent and student short filmmaker! Each monthly program will run for about an hour and will be followed by a live Q&A with the crew and cast of each film!
Doors open 30 minutes before show. On stage Q&A post screening. After show informal filmmaker networking outside at Eden Bar.
Originally a project of University of Central Florida's Downtown Media Arts Center beginning in 2005, Enzian Theater became the home of FilmSlam when DMAC closed in 2006. Through this partnership with Enzian, FilmSlam continues to be a popular screening series for indie and student filmmakers throughout the State of Florida.
