Premiere Set for Saturday, September 23, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n

\"OrangeOrange County, FL<\/strong>\u2013 FusionFest, in partnership with the Global Peace Film Festival, today announced the 2023 MYgration Film Competition<\/a>, an opportunity for filmmakers to share stories of migration, perspectives, and cultural intertwining. This annual competition seeks to capture the stories of Central Floridians from around the world in short five-minute documentary films. The films will be either from the perspective of a filmmaker\u2019s migration journey or from a subject allowing a filmmaker to portray their experiences.<\/p>\n

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. The 2023 MYgration film competition resulted in eleven entries.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The MYgration Film Screening and Award Presentation will take place at the Enzian Theatre on October 1, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. with the announcement of the 2023 MYgration Film Competition winners. Awards will include an Audience Choice winner, a Grand Prize, and a Student Prize. Prizes range from $200 – $1000. Before the Awards Presentation, FusionFest’s weekly talk show, Diverse Orange<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> will film live from the red carpet at the premiere. Tickets are available at <\/strong>https:\/\/www.fusionfest.org\/mygration-films-premiere<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

From December 2023 through August 2024 on the third Monday of each month, FusionFest will host a digital watch party featuring the films and their filmmakers. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@FusionFestOrlando<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
