The Saint Augustine Film Festival is organized by Gregory von Hausch, the CEO of the acclaimed Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival. More than 50 independent and international films will be on numerous screens throughout the city. Films will include dramas, comedies, and documentaries from all over the world, as well as films from independent U.S. filmmakers.

The Saint Augustine Film Festival will introduce its new mascot, Film Buddy, at the St. Augustine Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 3. As the SAFF ambassador, Film Buddy will be on a mission to invite locals and visitors to attend the film festival. The parade will begin at 9 a.m. along San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine.

“We are so excited to be screening films in beautiful downtown St. Augustine during Nights of Lights,” von Hausch said.
