Dateline: Old Town

The 15th annual Key West Film Festival returns to the southernmost screens in America for five days of new cinema, filmmaker conversations, and island nights.

Mark it down: the 15th annual Key West Film Festival runs Wednesday, November 18 through Sunday, November 22, 2026, across the southernmost screens in America.

Five days, four venues, and a slate that stretches from world premieres to homegrown island shorts. Mornings belong to filmmaker conversations and critics chats; evenings belong to the marquee — Opening Night, Centerpiece, the Golden Key Awards, and Closing Night.

Flights and rooms on the island go quickly in November, so travelers are advised to book early. The full schedule, venue map, and pass options publish alongside the lineup this fall.
