festival

While most people think of sun-baked beaches and charming historic
homes when they think of Amelia Island, there was much more to this
quiet little spot this past week.

Amelia Island turned into a “festival island” last weekend as
hundreds of film enthusiasts, filmmakers, directors, actors,
producers, fans, and more turned out to be part of the Inaugural
Amelia Island Film Festival. The festival ran September 25 - 28, and
lacked nothing in the way of variety: everything from short
documentaries to comedy to musicals, to sci-fi gore graced the silver

The inaugural Amelia Island Film Festival kicked off its four-day celebration yesterday. The festival features more than 45 independent, classic and short films viewed at four venues on the Island- Palace Saloon, the Woman's Club, Peck Center and Florida House Inn.

Last night, we were at the opening of the film festival. For photo galleries and to see if you were spotted at the festival, click here. Also, make sure to scroll down to watch exclusive videos from the festival.
