Downtown Orlando’s ill-fated Plaza Cinema Café reopens for just a few days this week — an ambitious brief on its own! — to be the hosting site for Orlando Film Festival. OFF promises feature films, documentaries and a legion of shorts across genre during its four-day run, with the kick-off VIP screening of Boris Is Dead, starring big-in-the-aughts comedian Dane Cook, with cast members (not Cook) in attendance.
Films on offer include One Plant, Ilana Goor, Plight and Etude of Life. Aside from the films, there will be filmmaker Q&As, networking events and a capstone awards ceremony doling out honorifics like Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Student Short.
Various times Thursday-Sunday, Nov. 19-22, Plaza Cinema Café, 155 S. Orange Ave., offvirtual.com, $20-200.
