Wrapping up Gasparilla arts season is this long-running festival that brings in little-known indie-filmmakers before they take home awards at Tribeca (looking at you Tyler Riggs).

A lineup and schedule has yet to be announced, but screenings for this year’s  Gasparilla International Film Festival run from March 23-36 at the Tampa Theatre, located at 711 N Franklin St. in downtown.

Folks can attend three days-worth of screenings for $120 per person, but an all-access red carpet pass will run you about $500.
