Oana Martisca's documentary News Without a Newsroom uses archival footage from Miami's news industry and pairs it with interviews with journalists and media experts to trace where it is heading. It will premiere at the Miami Film Festival on Friday.

The Miami-based film Ethan Bloom will premiere on April 6 at the Olympia Theater, alongside 35 other films making their debut at the 42nd Miami Film Festival. The film follows Ethan as he embarks on a spiritual quest, bouncing between Catholicism and Judaism, all while handling a teenage boy's typical challenges: girls, bullies and parents.

For the 42nd year of the festival, opening Thursday, April 3, and running through Sunday, April 13, there is an impressive array of narratives and documentaries that are produced in the Miami.

The forum will be hosted this year at Mad Arts in Dania Beach with featured panels from industry experts, special screenings and networking events

“It starts with O Cinema, this little indie theater. Next day, it's a playwright presenting a play. Or a musician performing. Or a visual artist,” said Kareem Tabsch. Mayor Steven Meiner wants to evict the nonprofit from a city-owned space after it screened Oscar-winning film No Other Land.

WLRN-TV Channel 17’s award-winning documentary chronicling the legacy of the Negro Leagues in South Florida will be screened this month in Miami-Dade and Broward counties for free to the public.

Six Miami-based documentary filmmakers were recognized in the inaugural The Louies awards. The Miami Film Festival, presented by Miami-Dade College, introduced the awards in September of 2024.

The festival will take place Jan. 9–23. The opening film tackles the turbulent months of protest before the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, which filmmaker Jonathan Jakubowicz says reminded him of the bitter political divisions in his native Venezuela and in the U.S.

‘Know Me: A True Life Drama’ is a fictionalized account of the infamous 2012 incident, by Miami native filmmaker Edson Jean. The upcoming film spotlights the attacker's struggles with mental health and explores how his Haitian family dealt with the media frenzy that ensued.

The city says it is making progress, but most days the city-owned and operated Tower Theater offers no events for the public, a big change from the past.

Shooting in the Sunshine State — namely Miami and the Florida Keys — involves navigating a lot of humidity and critters, but the producers of a new Carl Hiaasen adaptation knew it was necessary to get the story right.

Production companies and film commissions say they are again finding their way in Florida, despite a lack of a state incentive program which has kept shoots and talent away since the likes of Oscar-winner 'Moonlight' and hit series 'Dexter.' Apple TV+'s upcoming 'Bad Monkey,' shot almost entirely in South Florida, and smaller productions are bucking the trend.
