This year's spotlight films are Priscilla, A Little Prayer, All That is Sacred, Tarpon, Dream Scenario, American Symphony, and Eileen. There will also be special highlighted foreign films, LGBTQ films, documentary films, and Florida focus films.

The 2023 lineup emphasizes...

• PRISCILLA... "was the Centerpiece Film at the 2023 New York Film Festival. Newcomer Cailee Spaeny won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her breakthrough performance as Priscilla Presley in this reconsideration of a rock’n’roll fairytale, from filmmaker Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation)."
  
• EILEEN... "spotlights Anne Hathaway in a head-spinning performance as Rebecca, the dangerous catalyst in the quiet, desperate life of a young woman, Eileen (Thomasin McKenzie), living in small-town Massachusetts in 1964, swept up into dark circumstances in the dead of winter."
