Miami Film Festival Gets Underway; Almost 200 Films Slated, From ‘Pythons’ To ‘Barbarians’
The Miami Film Festival is underway, featuring a program with almost 200 narratives, documentaries, and short films.
El Sonido de Miami is one of nine narrative and documentary features in the running for the festival’s Made in MIA Award, “a competition for jury-selected films of any genre that features a qualitatively and quantitatively substantial portion of its content (story, setting and actual filming location) in South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and/or Monroe counties) and that best utilizes its story and theme for universal resonance.” The Python Hunt, a documentary directed by Xander Robin about efforts to rid the Florida Everglades of an invasive reptile, and A Weird Kind of Beautiful, a drama directed by Gabriel Mayo, are among the other contenders for the Made in MIA award. Paul Feig will be honored with the Precious Gem Award at a special Marquee screening of his latest film, Another Simple Favor, followed by a live recording of the Happy Sad Confused podcast hosted by Josh Horowitz. Melanie Lynskey, will receive the Precious Gem Award and participate in an in-depth conversation about her career, including her acclaimed two-time Emmy nominated performance in Yellowjackets, along with Heavenly Creatures, Don’t Look Up, The Last of Us, and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
