Traveling Edition | Miami Short Film Festival

TRAVELING EDITION

Quality short films to audiences beyond the Miami-Dade County borders.

This program takes the Miami short Film Festival “on the road” to bring quality short films to audiences beyond the Miami-Dade County borders. Our goal is to be part of the team of ambassadors of our famous city (Miami) and to continue expanding the name of Miami as a mecca of art and culture across the country and the rest of the world. For this edition we have chosen the best films worthy of representing the quality, style, and content of our festival to share in the hopes of strengthening bonds of friendship, cooperation, and the love of short films among the communities we visit. It is our intent to bring a renewed awareness of the 7th art as well as open the doors to worldwide cultural richness to you, our audience.

The 21st edition of the Miami short Film Festival was a complete success, and if you didn’t make it down to Miami in November last year, this is a great opportunity to review the winning films of the MiamisFF 2022 in a single night at your local theatre.
