About the Miami Film Festival

In February 1984 the non-profit Film Society of Miami, Inc, opened the very first Miami Film Festival. Up until 1989, The Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center was the official residence of the Miami Film Festival. In 2003, the Miami Film Festival was moved to Miami Dade College. The 10-day film festival has grown so much over the years, and has hosted a diverse range of filmmakers, which include Spike Lee and Pedro Almodovar. Hollywood celebrities such as Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, and Shirley MacLaine have all graced the red-carpets at this star-studded festival and its fabulous events.
