Biography

The Miami International Film Festival, celebrating its twenty sixth year in 2009, has become an exciting cultural Destination Event in the international film festival community. The Festival, presented each year in March, boasts attendance of 75,000, with over 300 filmmakers, producers, talent, and industry professionals attending. In the last five years, the Festival has presented films from more than 60 countries, including 300 East Coast, US, and World Premieres.

Because of MIFF programs such as Miami Encuentros and a special focus on Ibero-American cinema, the Miami International Film Festival has become the natural gateway for the discovery of Ibero-American talent. Additionally, the Festival offers unparalleled educational opportunities to filmmakers and the community at large, including the REEL Education Seminar Series, the World Issues World Film outreach program, and MIFF Abroad, a cross-cultural venture created to cultivate the next generation of Ibero-American filmmakers.
