Paul Feig, Melanie Lynskey, Julie Delpy Anchor 2025 Miami Film Festival Honorees
The Miami Film Festival, returning for its 42nd edition, will honor Paul Feig and Melanie Lynskey while also highlighting films from local talent.
They include Herschel Faber’s “Ethan Bloom,” which Cohen describes as “a real love letter to Miami,” a “coming of age story” about a teenager juggling Jewish family traditions and a nascent interest in Catholicism. There’s also 15 films in the local short category, including “Boat People” by Al’Ikens Plancher, “Blue Mirror” by Angela Rio and “Night Train Last Stop” by Gina Margillo. Within the short films, Cohen spotlighted “RAT!” by Neal Suresh Mulani — a “satirical look at internet culture and mob mentality” — and Mickey Duzyj’s “Confessions of a Jumbotron Addict,” a documentary involving animation.
