PALM COAST, Fla. – The 3rd Annual Flagler Film Festival took place at Hilton Garden Inn Palm Coast Town Center, on Jan. 16 through Jan. 18. 15 blocks of various categories were featured including: Tommy Tant benefit, comedy, horror/thriller, anything goes (light and dark), eight documentary blocks and two drama blocks. After each block, those involved in the filmmaking process were invited to participate in a question and answer (Q & A) session.
Films from the following states were screened at the 3rd Annual Film Festival. They included: Calif., Fla., Mass., Pa., Ill., N.Y., La., Ga., R.I., Nev. and N.J. Many countries participated in the festival, as well. They were from: Spain, Australia, Canada, Germany, England, Poland and Uganda.
During the screening of “Jangled”, a technical difficulty occurred. The laptop with the films of the 3rd Annual Flagler Film Festival generated too much heat and it caused it to stop displaying the film. After placing a miniature oscillating fan underneath, the festival continued. With a few display mishaps following, the festival continued on without another glitch.
