PULSE: A Film Slam for the Community June 11
(released 6/7/2017)


The June Film Slam will be held June 11, 2017, Sunday afternoon, at the Enzian Theater in Maitland, Florida. This month will pay tribute acknowledging the community spirit that came out of the June 12, 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

The mass murder took 49 of this city's people in an evening of social destruction. The community has begun the healing process and the collective contributions are many. A few of those collaborations can be seen in this month's programmed films. 

The Film Slam producer Jen Vargas published the following information about the scheduled screenings:
