Screenings take place at Savor Cinema in Fort Lauderdale, which is FLIFF's regular venue. Check the official FLIFFShorts site before you travel to confirm the venue for any specific block, as individual programs can move.

Tickets are sold per block through the official FLIFFShorts site at fliff.org/shorts. Each block (for example 'The Comedy Club' or 'Strange Encounters') has its own event page with showtimes and ticket links, so you can build a schedule around the two or three programs you most want to see.

The published grid shows: November 5 opening night with 'Shorts in Paradise' at 5:30 p.m. and 'Strange Encounters' at 8:30 p.m.; November 6 with 'Mix Reels #1' at 6 p.m. and 'The Comedy Club' at 8 p.m.; November 7 with 'Life Unscripted' blocks at noon and 2 p.m., 'Mix Reels #2' at 4 p.m., '#3' at 6 p.m. and '#4' at 8 p.m.; and November 8 with four 'Reel Sunshine' blocks at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

A private villa in Fort Lauderdale suits groups attending the festival: a pool, a kitchen and shared living space for the whole party, plus somewhere to host an after-party after the last block lets out - something a hotel cannot do. The Maruca Group manages luxury villas in Fort Lauderdale; share your dates and headcount and we will shortlist houses that fit.

Savor Cinema sits in Fort Lauderdale, and the city's core areas - Las Olas Boulevard, the Intracoastal waterfront and the beach strip - are a short drive away. Confirm your exact route and parking or rideshare plans for each screening night before opening night on November 5.

It depends on the block. The program mixes comedy, documentary and Made-in-Broward blocks with a late-night 'Strange Encounters' horror program at 8:30 p.m. Each film page on the official FLIFFShorts site describes its content, so check before bringing younger viewers to a late screening.
