Tampa Bay area residents have a lot of local film events to choose from this month.  Here’s a sample:

• November 3-5 — Something Wicked This Way Con — This horror film festival (originally called the Carnivale of Horror) includes a costume contest, panel discussions, special guests and more.
• November 9-10 — Latino Film Festival at Eckerd College – The screening schedule isn’t up on their website yet, but knowing that the International Cinema Series selection for November 10 is the controversial film El Crimen del Padro Amaro (starring Gael Garcia Bernal) is enough to make you circle this weekend on the calendar.
• November 10 — The Tampa Film Review at the International Bazaar in Ybor City – This free monthly screening showcases movies by local filmmakers.
• November 11 — Veterans Day Film Festival at Studio(at)620 in St. Pete — This film fest will screen the films Soldiers Speak Out, Sir No Sir and Winter Soldier.
• November 12 — Tampa Toy and Comic Book Convention — This local event, which occurs several times a year, includes special guests, a film festival, a costume contest and dozens of tables of anime, artwork, toys, games, videos, action figures and trading cards.
• November 28 — Tampa Film Network meeting — This local networking organization helps bring filmmakers, actors, writers and others from the local film community together for brainstorming and collaboration.
