The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum (CEAM) and Flagler College will host the Fourth Annual Finger Mullet Film Festival from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday, April 10. This event is free and open to the public.
The first screening of the evening is dedicated to student shorts, including more than 20 stop-motion videos made by local students in kindergarten through eighth grade who participated in summer camps at Make Space Workshop & Classroom from 2023 to 2025. In addition, the festival will showcase work from Flagler College students, as well as from students from China, Croatia, England, Iran, Israel, Norway, Portugal and the United States, who were selected through an open call.
The second screening block is a curated selection of experimental films and video works by renowned contemporary artists from throughout the United States and abroad. In the evening's final event, musicians will perform live to time-based artwork by visual artists and experimental filmmakers.
The festival was founded by Flagler College Kenan Distinguished Professor of Art Patrick Moser in collaboration with CEAM Director Julie Dickover and artist, musician and former Flagler adjunct professor Kevin Mahoney. It is dedicated to nurturing an experimental art and film culture in St. Augustine by providing an inspired platform of the best national and international short films alongside a burgeoning local and regional culture of time-based creators and storytellers.
The festival aims to discover, cultivate and screen new or local narratives to generate critical discussion and empower collaboration within the public, intertwining the importance of art and recognition of its vital place in the community.
