BTS MIAMI WIKI
Miami Film Festival
The Miami Film Festival is the city's great cinema celebration: each spring, films from the Americas and the world screen across Miami, anchored by the historic Tower Theater in Little Havana. Its GEMS fall edition previews awards-season cinema every autumn.
A media partner of BTS Miami, and the week the city's screens light up.
The story
The festival has championed Ibero-American cinema for decades, giving Miami a film event with a distinct Latin soul. The GEMS edition, held at the Tower Theater, brings awards-season films to Miami each autumn: a second festival within the year.
The Tower Theater setting matters: watching world cinema in a 1926 Little Havana landmark is an experience no multiplex can match.
The vibe
Festival Miami is cinephile Miami: red carpets with a neighborhood feel, Q&As where directors actually talk, audiences that laugh and cry out loud. The Tower's marquee glowing on Calle Ocho during the festival is one of the city's great sights.
It is the film world discovering what Miami already knew: this city watches movies with its whole heart.
What to experience
Screenings at the Tower Theater and venues across the city (program via the official site). Pair with Little Havana: dinner on Calle Ocho, film at the Tower.
