One of Miami’s finest events is about to occur just as I have returned to share all of my newest knowledge with you. Having just gotten back from Bollywood and having listened to all sorts of exquisite music from Rajasthan, I feel newly ready to both analyze, evaluate, and mess with the upcoming 2025 Miami Film Festival that everyone looks forward to.
For over four decades, the Miami Film Festival has been celebrating cinema, screening fresh films and influencing our beautiful community. From 1984 to its current incarnation as a big, serious endeavor, the Festival has continued to escort us toward a better version of ourselves, bringing Miami pictures of a world of beauty, danger, fear, love, opportunity, anxiety, horror and glee. Name it and they show it.
This festival, one of our city’s signature events, is being held once again at multiple venues around town – primary locations include the Koubek, Silverspot, Coral Gables Art Cinema, Regal on the Beach, O Cinema, and the glamorous, resuscitated, born again again, nine lives, downtown Olympia. Beginning on April 3 and continuing through April 13, this year’s offerings promise to provide joy, pain and relief to all of us who are exhausted and tariffed beyond belief.
It is always a special occasion when we can return to the cinema to watch powerfully curated selections on a number of our beloved big screens. As Sean Baker, the director of Anora said during his Oscar presentation, there is a special experience when watching a movie on the big screen, as it is intended. More often than not, we have become accustomed to watching cinema on television screens and horror horror horror – on phones; this is a blasphemous shame.
This year’s selections, as always, offer us a window to the world. I’m not sure whether Antarctica will be represented, but every other continent has something to screen. The website has deftly organized it all into colorful categories: 7 docs, 4 Italian, 4 spicy, women directors, romance, etc.
As always, there are opening night parties, closing night parties, and all sorts of activities to sort through. Meet the Barbarians is the opener of Miami Film Festival’s 42nd edition.
Directed and starring Julie Delpy of Before Sunrise fame, also showing on April 4. One of the treasures of closing night is Picnic at Hanging Rock, a new version of the Australian classic.
