A celebration of the art of visual storytelling in short films, the Melrose Film Festival will take place in-person on September 28 in The Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center for Technology, Innovation & Creativity and will feature screenings from approximately 75 selected films. Special consideration will be given to filmmakers in the state of Florida, and winning films may be broadcast on local television.
