AVALONIA FESTIVAL 8 LIVE EVENT

All Avalonia filmmakers and their guests are invited to attend. Please remember that due to our financially independent status and modest entry fees, our festival does not provide any travel funds or accommodations for winning filmmakers. Please use your best discretion and judgment in deciding whether to attend our Live Event; we feel it will be well worth a “day trip” or a “long drive” but perhaps not an expensive air flight unless you also have time to explore more of Florida while you’re here!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: CANTINA LOUIE hosts Avalonia Informal After-party!
After our November 2th screenings, join us for an Avalonia Informal After-party just footsteps away at CANTINA LOUIE in Atlantic Beach! Great “Mexican street food”, margaritas, and fun are on the menu. Cantina Louie has graciously provided all attending filmmakers with a voucher good for a free margarita or appetizer! Now, that’s a fiesta!
NOTE: Avalonia 8 Award Winners, if you’d like us to add a visual representation of your Avalonia Award Winning project to the listings below (the project itself, a still, teaser/trailer, or poster), or if you see a typo or other error in how your film is represented, please email us at avaloniafestival@yahoo.com with the subject heading “Avalonia 8” and we will correct it ASAP!
Special thanks to Avalonia Award-Winning alumnus Judge Kazuya Ashizawa for returning for his fourth season to help us select this season of Avalonia Award Winners.
Statistics: Sixty-four selected & Avalonia Award-Winning projects from a total of 268 entries. As always, we only “select” projects that win an Avalonia Award, and, simultaneously, only Avalonia Award-winning projects are selected. Our process is further explained on Avalonia Festival 7’s page.
