Our mission is to bring the art of short form filmmaking into the spotlight, while highlighting important themes and topics that resonate across cultural and linguistic boundaries. We are the launching point for original scripts, new cinematography and film techniques, innovative perspectives and unique pieces of true emotion and expression caught on film. The Festival is a dedicated contributor to the culture, economy, and the arts of Miami-Dade County increasing its vitality, vibrancy, and the quality of life for residents and tourists. Since 2002, MIAMIsFF has presented more than 1,500 short films from over 45 different countries.
