Produced and presented by Miami Dade Community
College, the Miami International Film Festival is
dedicated to provoking thought through film and encouraging cultural
understanding and artistic development in young filmmakers. The 29th
edition of the event promises to be a popular venue for Spanish films as
well as a showcase for both emerging and veteran creators of features,
shorts, documentaries and experimental pieces. Categories for the 2012
juried Ibero-American competition include dramatic works from Latin
America, Spain and Portugal and Latino-themed works produced in the
United States.
The Miami Film Society members promote screenings
and special events throughout the year and share a passion for film and
the local arts scene. Membership benefits include festival passes as
well as discounts at local movie theaters like the historic Tower
Theater on Calle Ocho and the Miami Beach Cinematheque. One of the most
popular festivals in Florida, the Miami International Film Festival
celebrates films with a Florida Focus whether partially shot in the
state or created elsewhere by a director who is a Florida resident.
Local films are increasingly popular with the young audience as are the
Reel Music Scenes; narrative & documentary films with a musical theme.
Tickets for the 2012 festival have not been released
yet but all inclusive passes to all film screenings can be applied for
on the film festival website. Check local websites for smaller film
venues like O Cinema, Miami Beach Cinematheque and Tower Theater where
Spanish language, documentary and special interest productions find an
audience nearly every night of the week!
