Miami Film Festival Lights Up Miami With Movies For Everyone

The Miami Film Festival ran from March  9-18, featuring films from a multitude of countries.

Thousands of moviegoers saw more than 130 films and participated in programming that included masterclass sessions and afterparties—stars were abound.

This year, guests included actress Isabelle Huppert, who promoted her new film Souvenir  by director Bavo Defurne, Tim Clancy from HBO’s docuseries Vice, Taxi Driver writer Paul Schrader, Office Space actor Ron Livingston and Up in the Air director/writer Jason Reitman.

Films like Fight Like a Girl and 6 Weeks to Mother’s Day showcased the talents of Miami Dade College alumni.

All the features were shown at venues such as the Olympia Theater, Regal South Beach, Miami Dade College’s Tower Theater, O Cinema Miami Beach, Coral Gables Art Cinema and The Landmark at Merrick Park.
