The 10th Annual MIAMI SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, November 12 through the 20, 2011 will showcase the best short films from around the globe.MsFF 2011 will be held at one of Miami’s most historic cinemas, The Colony Theater. Opened in 1934, the Colony is a superb, recently-restored venue with state-of-the-art projection, surround sound, and stadium seating located in the heart of Miami Beach on Lincoln Road.To date, MsFF has presented over 800 shorts from over 40 countries and attracts top industry professionals that attend to network, serve on judging panels, and participate in seminars and outreach programs. Past MsFF award-winners have achieved significant success, including 2008′s GRISEN, nominated for an Oscar in 2009; FRANKIE, which won the European Film Award for Best Short, 2009′s DOWN IN NUMBER 5, which won a Student Academy Award in 2010, and most recently the Oscar-winning short GOD OF LOVE.The Festival brings together filmmakers, industry executives, Miami locals, and visitors who seek to discover new talent. Exhibiting filmmakers vie for multiple awards, and are welcomed like stars as they walk the red carpet at MsFF’s Galas.
