Now We Start a New Series from the Gang at The Key West Film Festival : FLASHBACK FRIDAY

FIRST FLASHBACK FRIDAY: WAS 4/3


Key West prides itself on being One Human Family, and we at KWFF wish our community health and safety. Whether you are reading this in Key West or from other towns across the world, we are all in this together.

We're sure you've been watching a lot of stuff at home, so we're here to help change things up. Each Friday - #FlashbackFriday - we'll be posting one of a kind Q&As from past festivals, along with info on where to watch the movie associated with the talk. 

These talks are what make KWFF a truly unique experience, and we are so excited to share them with you. For those of you that were there in person, here's a chance to relive them!

Flashback Friday returns with a bit of a twist this week. KWFF 2019 featured one of the most powerful conversations we've ever hosted - Director Kimberly Peirce and the 20th Anniversary of BOYS DON'T CRY.

It was a big year for the film, with multiple stories written about the seminal LGBT film, and the distinct honor of the film being invited to the Library of Congress. KWFF was the only festival to honor Ms. Peirce in person. Having grown up in Miami, Kimberly and her father came down to the Keys many times, but it had been decades since her last visit. 

Needless to say, it was an incredible experience all around having her at the festival. The conversation was moderated by Eugene Hernandez, who is now the Director of the New York Film Festival, and Brian Brooks.

And as a bonus... we've included Kimberly's VERY inspiring acceptance speech for her Golden Key Award at our Awards Ceremony. These annual ceremonies are not to be missed, and seeing Kimberly's speech will give you a great taste of them!

Oh, wait...one more surprise! We have ANOTHER bonus, a very special personal note from Kimberly Peirce for these uncertain times, recorded just this afternoon to you from her house in LA. 

Stay safe, healthy, and sane! We hope to see you all in November! 

~KWFF Team

You can watch the film on any of these sites:

KEY WEST, FL, April 15, 2020—The College of the Florida Keys continues its 2020 VIP Series through COVID-19 stay at home orders by going virtual.  Dr. Jason Spadaro, CFK marine science and technology professor, will broadcast his presentation, "How crabs may offer new hope for the restoration of Florida’s iconic coral reefs," live from his home through the College’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheCollegeoftheFloridaKeys on Tuesday, April 21 at 7 p.m.
Dr. Spadaro will discuss the role herbivorous crabs can play in facilitating coral reef restoration efforts in the Caribbean and Florida Keys. These large crustacean grazers may be the key to turning the tide of the battle between corals and algae and to improving conditions for coral reef community recovery.
The presentation closes the seventh season of CFK’s VIP Series, which was sponsored by Centennial Bank and provides the community with opportunities to learn from the visions, ideas, and perspectives of speakers of local, regional, and national prominence.  For more information, call CFK at 305-296-9081 or visit www.fkcc.edu.


We Now Continue with the last batch of photos from the Photographic Exhibition "LA IN THE 1930s"Up Next but First an Important Announcement from WWW.HOMETOWNKEYWEST.COM

The 2020 election resource
for candidates, voters and media.
KEY WEST AND MONROE COUNTY

HOMETOWN! AGAIN UNVEILS ONE-STOP CANDIDATE
RESOURCE FOR 2020 ELECTIONS
Dear Incumbents and Candidates in the 2020 Elections,

Hometown has canceled its “Call for Candidates’ forum scheduled for April 13, at Salute. It has become a tradition to open the campaign/election cycle with this event so that incumbents, candidates and those simply “testing the waters” can speak to the voters as to proposed ideas and concepts for our vibrant community.

This year Hometown again unveils its candidate and election information resource for Monroe County voters, incumbents, candidates, the media and all those interested in good government. Remember: Hometown members are SuperVoters—they vote in every election-primary & general, making it more important than ever to take advantage of this platform.

Hometown's Design Team has developed individual candidate spaces that will offer the Hometown website visitor (voters and media) more information about you!

Hometown offers a chance for you to get your message out—we will post your photo, contact information (telephone, email address, Facebook, Twitter & Instagram info), and a short written statement (no more than 150 words) on Hometown’s website (Hometownkeywest.com). Hometown is also prepared to add, in light of the possible future lack of campaign rallies, Forums, Q&A Events and other voter contacts, the posting of a three-minute video setting forth each candidate’s vision of why he/she should be elected and what his/her views are on the most important issues facing his/her electorate.



IMPORTANT: Please send the following information to Hometown’s computer agent: Kelli Funkhouser at kelli@twooceansdigital.com

1.  Head Shot: High Resolution (if not already sent)
2. Email address and Telephone/Twitter –Instagram Info
3.  Address (for campaign contribution checks :-)
4.  Narrative 100 - 150 word count-to be strictly enforced--
5.  Facebook & Website link
6.  Video of Candidate Speaking-no longer than 3 minutes

Please send your video to Ms. Funkhouser and she will upload that to Hometown’s YouTube Channel and use that same video on the HometownKeyWest.com website. If you already have your own YouTube Channel and would prefer we use one of your existing YouTube videos (not exceeding three minutes), please send the URL of the page that has the video you would like.

Please keep in mind: Hometown cannot process your information if received in bits and pieces.


“It is important for voters to have access to candidate information before the Mail by Vote ballots land in voters’ mailboxes,” said Hometown Board Chairman Todd German. “Our mission is simple - Informed Voters Promote Good Government.”

It is uncertain when future events will be held prior to the primary. The primary deals in large part with contested partisan county, state and federal races to be ultimately decided in the November election. It is, however, a misnomer as to other non-partisan races such as Key West mayor and city commissioners, school board, etc—for these offices, it is the general election.

If candidates are limited in holding a pre-primary rally, and Hometown does not conduct events and forums that enable candidates to meet with and discuss issues with voters, then you, the other candidates, the voters, and the community are without the means to understand and opine on significant matters that may well alter our future.

Some candidates have already sent in a photo, contact info, and a brief statement. See for example, Craig CatesDanise “DeeDee” Henriquez, and Robby Majeska. (Go to hometownkeywest.com and click on 2020 Elections and then click on the name of the candidate.)
DEADLINE—in order to be posted, Hometown must receive everything as soon as possible and in any event, no later than April 30. If you do not want to post everything requested or anything at all, that is your choice. Just please let us know. Thanks.

Why would you not take advantage of this?
Send in your info as listed (#1 to #6) above. 

What are you waiting for?
