The Orlando Film Festival is an annual film festival held in Orlando in the U.S. state of Florida. It has become one of the premier film festivals for independent filmmakers to showcase their work. Now in its 3rd year, the Orlando Film Festival attracts over 2,000 entries from filmmakers in more than 30 countries.

Created as an alternative to commercial cinema, the annual week-long festival remains true to its original goal of promoting film as an art form. The Orlando Film Festival also fosters the growth of emerging and established film producers. The festival is open to film of all lengths and genres, including experimental, narrative, animation, documentary, and genre hybrids. The festival’s mission is to provide a worldwide public forum for moving image exhibitions, to encourage and showcase artists of the moving image, to promote the moving image as art, and to offer educational outreach. The Orlando Film Festival has become one of the most active film organizations in the country championing artists' rights of expression and free speech.

This year's festival runs November 5-9, 2008.
