Distribution : Miami short Film Festival by Paola Celpa, Mpa

Short films, past and present, are true works of art, and deserve a venue dedicated to their exhibition. The Miami Short Film Festival's mission is to present quality short films from around the world, as well as to support, recognize and honor filmmakers for their visionary excellence in creating films under 30 minutes. The Miami Short Film Festival is a dedicated contributor to the cultural arts, economy, and education of Miami-Dade County. Through a highly effective strategic partnership model, MsFF has introduced its unique programs and programming year-round into theaters, classrooms, businesses, and organizations throughout Miami-Dade County. With over 700 submissions from all corners of the globe, 100 short films (under 20 minutes) have been chosen to screen in The 12th Annual Miami short Film Festival. Films from over 25 countries will screen from November 8th through November 15th at the Paragon Grove 13 at 6:30pm and 8:30pm. Special Encore presentations, MsFF After Dark, will screen nightly at 9pm at the Miami Beach Cinematheque. This season, when the curtains rise on Opening Night to kick off the week-long packed screening schedule, patrons of the Miami short Film Festival will be privy to a taste of a virtual cinematic smorgasbord. The subsequent seven days this November will feature 23 screenings, each consisting of 4-10 films threaded thematically to create a powerhouse eighty minutes. Films have been framed through the following thematic motifs: Matter and Mortality, Opening Night: The Feel-Good, Blood Red Youth, Wandering Knight, Spotlight: Miami’s Filmmakers, The Other Side of the World, Stronger Sex, We’re A Happy Family, Roam Endings & Beginnings, Colombian Tales, Living in Colour, Between The Lines, Epic Proportions, and Bizarre Love Triangle. Some notable appearances include Rumer Willis in Six Letter Word, Tom Noonan in Skinhead Requiem, and Rosanna Arquette in No Love Song. Films from over 25 countries will screen from November 8th through November 15th at the Paragon Grove 13 at 6:30pm and 8:30pm. Special Encore presentations, MsFF After Dark, will screen nightly at 9pm at the Miami Beach Cinematheque. Lights! Camera! Action!
