The 2026 Florida Film Festival

The 2026 Florida Film Festival has come and gone. From April 10th to the 19th, we spent most every day in screenings, seeing the tales of Floridians and Floridian filmmakers on the big screen. Today, we chat about the work from three of these films, focusing on art, protest, cryptids, poems, and belief. Frogtown, the story of a small Florida town finding meaning in the elusive Frog King. The Call, which details Morocco's historic Green March, hosted by Orlando's arts instigator. Welcome, profiling Shawn Welcome, Orlando's former poet laureate. Thank you to all of our guests!
