The Florida Theatre presents the film Elf, to benefit Feeding Northeast Florida, on Sunday, December 20, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. Doors open at 1:00 p.m.

Elf is a 2003 American Christmas comedy film directed by Jon Favreau, written by David Berenbaum, and starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Zooey Deschanel, Mary Steenburgen, Daniel Tay, Bob Newhart and Ed Asner. The film centers on Buddy, a human who was adopted and raised by Santa's elves. He learns about this and heads to New York City to meet his biological father while also spreading Christmas cheer in a world of cynics in the process.

This special screening of Elf is presented by Publix Supermarket Charities, and supported by sponsorships from Wawa, and Wilson-Dutra Innovation Law. Because of the support of these wonderful sponsors, the Theatre is able to offer this holiday movie screening for free and is absorbing the administrative overhead as a community service.

Food donations will be received by Jacksonville food bank Feeding Northeast Florida, a partner of Feeding America. At least one item per adult and per child is requested, and more will be welcome. This is a family-friendly event and a great opportunity to teach young children and adults about philanthropy. For more information about recommended food items to bring, visit floridatheatre.com.

Public health measures will be in place for this event. Patrons can visit floridatheatre.com/home/breaking-news for the most up to date information on The Florida Theatre’s safety protocols and general updates,

The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre is sponsored by Community First Credit Union. For a complete list of upcoming events or to buy tickets visit the Theatre’s official website, floridatheatre.com.
