PLAN YOUR NEXT MOVIE NIGHT AT THE GASPARILLA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Calling all cinephiles! The Gasparilla International Film Festival is almost here! Grab your popcorn and get a front-row seat, because, from March 17-22, over 120 internationally-acclaimed films will be shown in theaters all over Tampa. The non-profit festival, which was founded in 2006, works to bring the cinematic arts to locals and visitors alike, playing host to thousands of directors, filmmakers, writers, actors, producers, and other talents over the years. It’s a not-to-be-missed event for any film fan. But plan your schedule accordingly as this year, guests can expect groundbreaking movies and thought-provoking titles like “Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen,” a documentary on the history of transgender people in films and on television, and “Resistance,” a biographical drama about a young Jewish boy saving orphans from the Nazis amidst WWII. Make sure that you don’t miss out on world premieres, industry panels, or Family Fun Day, which will be playing “Frozen 2.”
