This year's festival will be showing 72 films, along with keynote speakers, panels, discussions, and more.
'Well, I think down here a lot of people aren't used to this type of vibe. Small town. But I feel like we're bringing elements from outside of Bay County in here to give our locals an experience that they haven't had before. It's celebrating the past, present, and future, really, of downtown Panama City,' attendee Jasmine Rizzuto said.
Day one of the festival begins on Friday. You can buy one-day or weekend passes.
