The annual competition is a chance for filmmakers to share stories of migration, different perspectives, and cultural intertwining while capturing the stories of Central Floridians from around the world in short five-minute documentary films from the filmmaker’s perspective or from a subject allowing a filmmaker to portray their experiences.
In August, filmmakers and subjects were paired and had just five days to produce the film and submit the final reel for judging by a FusionFest panel, resulting in eleven entries.
The MYgration films will premiere as part of the annual Global Peace Film Festival on September 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rollins College Bush Auditorium, where attendees can vote for their favorite movies.
