The Miami Short Film Festival is celebrating its 10th Year Anniversary
at the historical Colony Theater on 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach. The
Festival, which started with a small number of films and a big dream by
the Executive Director William Vela, this year received over 900 films
from 50 different countries. Our exciting partnerships with the Miami
New Times and the Conill Ad Agency are promising to make this year's
Festival an event not to be missed. We officially kick off the week of
festivities on Saturday, November 12th, at 10PM and are graciously hosted
by the Vagabond Nightclub.
The Festival's traditional program, with all films in competition, will
be held at the historical Colony Theater. On its opening night, Monday
November 14th, MsFF has programmed a glorious selection of past winners
and festival favorites, highlighting the excellence of material presented
over the years. It will be preceded by a cocktail reception at 7:00PM.
From Tuesday, November 15th, 2011 through Friday November 18th 2011,
with two unique screenings each night, MsFF will showcase the different
formats in competition: documentary, narrative, animation, experimental
and music video.
MsFF believes it is vital to support the South Florida film community,
and this year has reinvigorated the program "Tomorrow's Filmmakers
Today" into a film school competition, hosted at the beautiful new Miami
Beach Cinemateque. We have also added a new special screening of local
films, "I'm Not Gonna Move to LA" at the incredibly fresh O Cinema. Our
extended Outreach program includes free seminars, designed around the
idea of a film-school in a week and some of the most interesting and
successful Miami film industry professionals signed on to share their
knowledge. We are excited to be working with local filmmakers, musicians
and artists to fully explore the meaning of the world festival.
The MsFF team invites you to the Award Ceremonies at the Colony Theater,
where they will announce the highly anticipated winners and will screen
select "Best of Fest" films. This year's festival aspires to excite,
entertain and provide a venue for filmmakers to engage directly with
media, audience and industry professionals. Join them in celebrating the
art of the short film.
