Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Siren By The Sea Tavern Film Festival Series will not be holding live events this season. Instead, we’re holding an all-genre online competition with a private jury and giving the winning film-makers an invitation to screen when we resume our live events.

July Event Cancelled

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak we have cancelled our July Comedy Film event and postponed the rest of the live film festival evet series indefinitely.

We will, however, be hosting online-only competitions until we can safely resume live events.

Got Something Funny?

Our next competition will be part of our tavern film festival series.  We'll be spending a day with the Comedy genre. The festival date is set for July 11th at Anne Oakley's Saloon in Ormond Beach, Florida.

Comedy comes in all forms and we're open to almost anything.  Dramatic comedy, romantic comedy, horror comedy, animation, parody, slapstick... it's all good.

Submissions for short films, feature films, and trailers will be opening soon.
