Today I went to the first and second programs of the 19th Annual Brouhaha Film & Video Showcase that is held at the Enzian Theater is Maitland. The Brouhaha Showcase is two about eight hours of short films spread out into four, two hour programs over two days. Residents and students studying insider the state of Florida are encouraged to submit their films to the showcase by the middle of October to be screened by a selections committee for entrance into the showcase and screened on a full length theater screen. Also films can gain entrance by winning one of the monthly FilmSlams that are held at the Enzian on the second Sunday of each month (there is no Slam in April [Florida Film Festival] or December [Brouhaha])*.
So far the Showcase has had a wide variety of films from February FilmSlam winner Crooked to Cheap Shot an animated short from Ringling College of Art and Design to the short documentary Chiefland. It is a great pleasure to go and see these films and the great part is that there is still one more day left to enjoy some short films. Sunday, December 5 (Tomorrow) are programs three and four which end out the small showcase. There promises to be more films that won at the monthly FilmSlams, independent films and Universities, I almost forgot that there were some from local high school Dr. Philips High. The tickets to go see the program are $5 per program ($10 for both programs) and you may not get to see these films again on screen or you may be able to catch a quarter of the films in the Best of Brouhaha at the Florida Film Festival in April. So come out and support local film.
