We our heartbroken to share the shocking news that Florida filmmaking legend and 2014 StarLite Legend Award recipient Ralph Clemente has passed away. Ralph was a longtime friend and supporter of both the StarLite Film Festival and the Garden Theatre, and is best known for building the world-renown Valencia College film program. His presence at future festivals will be deeply missed, and our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, to the Valencia College community, and to all those who love Ralph as much as we do.

Back by popular demand!

At last year's festival Kodak and Pro 8mm sponsored a free "Shoot Super 8" kiosk, and it was so successful, we're pleased to announce that they're returning this year on Saturday, February 28.

You can sign out a camera and one cartridge of film at no cost beginning at 12:30pm. The event will continue until we run out of supplies (about two hours last year). A reel of the footage will be emailed to you after the festival.

Thanks, Kodak and Pro 8mm!
