The Miami Short Film Festival (MsFF) is excited to announce that, due to a high level of demand and interest, it has opened registration early for the 7th Annual Miami Short Film Festival.
Offering a $12,000 grand-prize for the Best of Festival category winner, and awards of goods and services to all other category winners, the MsFF is dedicated to supporting independent filmmakers and catering to the world’s most creative filmmaking genre.
Categories accepted are: Animation, Documentary, Experimental and Narrative.
Recognizing a responsibility to support the local film community, south Florida produced films, submitted to any of the four categories, are automatically considered for nomination to a special Best of Local category. As an incentive, the Best of Local category winner will be automatically nominated for the Best of Festival award and can win its $12,000 grand-prize.
As an international film festival, films produced outside of the United States are automatically considered for nomination to the Best Foreign category. The winner of this category is also automatically nominated for the Best of Festival award. The 7th Annual Miami Short Film Festival will run from December 1st-7th 2008, at area theaters still to be announced.
In 2007, partnerships with the University of Miami School of Communication, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Yahoo! Telemundo, OurStage.com, and The Miami Mayor’s Office of Film & Cultural Affairs strengthened the festival’s visibility contributing to its many sold-out screenings.
Founded by CEO William Vela in 2001, The Miami Short Film Festival, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is produced by Miami-based Velart Productions.
