We’ve had the pirate parade, the arts festival, the running race, and now it’s finally time to chill out and watch some movies.

Gasparilla International Film Festival opened Tuesday night with “She Dances,” about a father trying to reconnect with his daughter over her dance competition—starring real life father Steve Zahn and dancing daughter Audrey Zahn.

There are still plenty of star-studed films screening through the weekend with names like Al Pacino, Willem Dafoe, and Luis Guzmán.

And, of course, much of the lineup is Tampa Bay and Florida based, including documentaries on the Seminole Heights murders, College Hunks Hauling Junk cleaning up after the 2024 hurricanes and the Tampa Bay Times’ annual Top Restaurants list.

Some films, like “Mistake”—about an intersex child raised in the Deep South—are also screening across the Skyway this week at the women-focused Reel Equals Film Festival.

Tickets start at $16.79 for Gasparilla International Film Festival, running through Sunday, March 8 in Tampa.
