Overview
The 2026 Film Festival Events will be held in front of live festival attendees in Wellington, Florida and the surrounding area. In the past our venues included: -- the Northwood Art & Music Warehouse, -- the Lake Worth Theater -- the Movies of Lake Worth, -- the Movies at Wellington, -- the Legacy Lounge, -- the Bamboo Room, -- the Blueprint, -- and Belair 509 Restaurant (formerly Cafe St. Regis). For 2026, our venues location will be disclosed on Wellington film festival.com Our festival features regional films local to Florida and international films as well. Our focus so far has been on independent and student film makers, but we are looking to partner with Key Sponsors and Business Partners to make our next Wellington Film Festival an amazing event. The NEW FREE LIVE-STREAM OPTION is being worked on with a partner and will be announced as soon as we establish this collaboration. The idea of the Collaborative Wellington Film Festival is that you can eventually be part of our upcoming events applicable to you and show the films in your own selected locations. We wish to expand the venues where films submitted to us can be seen.
