Entries are submitted through FilmFreeway. Selected films must normally be Tallahassee premieres; prior public theatrical screenings in Tallahassee can make a film ineligible. The organisers may make exceptions, but these films cannot compete for awards. Films already publicly available online may be screened but are ineligible for awards. Works in progress are accepted when identified with notes on remaining work. Non-English dialogue requires English subtitles, except for intentional artistic omissions explained to the programmers. Submitters must control the necessary rights and permissions. For the Florida Filmmaker Award, the director or a majority of above-the-line contributors must be current Florida residents; relevant names must be identified in the cover letter. Selected films may screen outside competition. The festival does not pay screening fees or provide travel stipends, lodging or airfare for official selections.","https:\u002F\u002Ftallahasseefilmfestival.com\u002F",[46,50,53,56,60],{"type":47,"value":48,"note":49},"Email","info@tallahasseefilmfestival.com","General festival inquiries",{"type":47,"value":51,"note":52},"programmers@tallahasseefilmfestival.com","Programming, film sales and distribution inquiries",{"type":47,"value":54,"note":55},"TFFprinttraffic@gmail.com","Print traffic and screening materials",{"type":57,"value":58,"note":59},"Website","https:\u002F\u002Ftallahasseefilmfestival.com\u002Fsubmit\u002F","Film submissions and eligibility",{"type":61,"value":62,"note":63},"Address","3551 Blairstone Rd, Ste. 105-111, Tallahassee, FL 32301, United States","Festival mailing address",1792465823]
