About the Tallahassee Film Society.

The Tallahassee Film Society (TFS) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt nonprofit organization. Incorporated in 1999, TFS was formed for the purpose of bringing foreign and American independent films to the Tallahassee area.

Modeled after other film societies in the southeastern United States, TFS presents films all year around. In addition, we occasionally promote specialized film events and guests.

Screening Location:

TFS films screen weekly at the Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee IMAX Movie Theatre, located at 200 S. Duval Street, on the beautiful Kleman Plaza in Downtown Tallahassee.  Metered on-street parking is available close by using the ParkMobile App, as well as covered parking in Kleman Plaza's parking garage.

Why did the screening schedule change?

To give audiences more chances to catch each film, introduce new titles on a predictable schedule, and create a smoother, more flexible rotation each weekend.

How does the new schedule work?

Screenings now follow a rolling, alternating weekend structure, always featuring:

• Saturday at 3 PM — Opening screenings for new films OR the first screening of an existing one
• Sunday at 5 PM — Second screenings from the previous weekend’s Saturday premiere

What does a typical two-week pattern look like?

Weekend 1

• Sat 3 PM: Film A (First Screening)
• Sun 5 PM: Film B (Second Screening from the previous weekend)

• Sat 3 PM: Film C (Opening Screening for a new film — new openings always on Saturdays)
• Sun 5 PM: Film A (Second Screening)

Will every new film premiere on a Saturday?

Yes — new titles will always open on Saturdays at 3 PM.

Will this affect special programs or events?

Special events will still be scheduled independently and communicated clearly.

Where can I check what’s screening each weekend?

On our website, digital signage, social media posts, and printed schedules.

I saw a film at a festival, another city, my grandmother's house. How do I get you to show it?

Again simply email us with the information. We try to show many different types of films, but of course we do have to pay for the films. So it does need to appeal to more people than, say, the five Norwegians living in town.
