Enzian exists to entertain, inspire, educate, and connect the community through film. Surrounded by weeping oaks, a bubbling fountain, and a beautiful courtyard, Enzian is a unique movie-going experience. For more than 36 years Enzian has championed the belief that "Film Is Art." Along with first-run independent features, Enzian offers a variety of special events, such the nationally-recognized Fl

orida Film Festival. Founded by Tina Tiedtke and the Tiedtke family in 1985, Enzian began as a repertory house offering six to 12 classic films each week as well as the occasional live show (musician Philip Glass was one of the most notable bookings on Enzian's stage). By 1989, Enzian refocused and moved into the then-risky field of showing first-run independent features. Enzian was alone in the community in booking such films, but this bold transformation was a success. With strong support from regional film-lovers, Enzian now often reports the highest grosses in Florida for many art house releases. Adventurous programming, and a willingness to book self-distributed films, has garnered Enzian a national reputation as a trendsetting venue. Time and time again, Enzian has proven that even in a community as mainstream as Orlando, there is an audience hungry for new voices in independent film.

Python-mania returns to Enzian as director Xander Robin and special guests join us for The Python Hunt!

In an attempt to save the threatened ecosystem, the Florida government hosts an annual competition to remove invasive pythons from the Everglades.

The Python Hunt screens June 12–18, with director Xander Robin and special guests in attendance on Friday, June 12 at 6:15pm and Saturday, June 13 at 3:00pm. Tickets are available now at https://enzian.org/film/the-python-hunt

School’s out for summer! Our Enzian Film Club professors are on a well-deserved vacation, but you’ve still got a lot to learn. Join us June–August for screenings and talkbacks with Enzian programmers and community guests, and keep your brain (or at least your social skills) sharp until our return to class in September. It might not be Driver’s Ed, but it’s better than independent study.

Elevator to the Gallows – Sat, July 11
Repo Man – Sat, August 15

Enzian Film Club: Summer School tickets are available at https://enzian.org/special-programs/saturday-matinee-classics. Don’t be tardy!
