This new, exclusive online program — VISIONS — will be available through May 15.

“VR and New Media is such an exciting and innovative world, and we’re really thrilled to bring our audience these works,” Tim Anderson, Florida Film Festival’s programming coordinator, said in a news release. “The pandemic has afforded us an opportunity to utilize online streaming services to expand our offerings, and we think it’s a natural fit to showcase this broad range of new voices through the very medium that these projects were created for.”

The films are different from the ones shown during the in-person festival in April.

Tickets for online films range from free to $35 and can be purchased here.
