The Finger Mullet Film Festival (FMFF) was founded by Flagler College Distinguished Professors of Art Patrick Moser and Kevin Mahoney in collaboration with former Director of the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum, Julie Dickover. The festival is dedicated to nurturing an experimental art and film culture in St. Augustine by providing an inspired platform for the best national and international short films alongside a burgeoning local and regional culture from young artists, film makers, creators, and storytellers. Finger Mullet aims to discover, cultivate, and screen new or local narratives to generate critical discussion and empower community collaboration. This year’s festival brings together film and video shorts by regional, national, and international artists and filmmakers, including a screening block dedicated to student work, as well as a special performance by former Flagler professor and Finger Mullet founder, artist and musician Kevin Mahoney. A complete list of participants will be listed at www.flagler.edu/ceam and fingermulletfilmfestival.com.
The Finger Mullet Film Festival is supported, in part, through funds from Flagler College. CEAM programming is supported through grants from the Dr. JoAnn Crisp-Ellert Fund at The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council, the St. Johns Cultural Council and voco, an IGH hotel.
