Film lovers will have plenty of Florida festivals to look forward to in 2008. One of the more highly anticipated Miami events is the Miami International Film Festival. This year’s event takes place from February 28th until March 9th. The Florida festival will be celebrating more than 2 decades of bringing quality independent film making to visitors and residents.

The Miami International Film Festival is not just a place to see great movies. It is also a place for fans and novice film makers alike to learn about the process through workshops and lectures. While the 2008 schedule has not been announced yet, you can keep up with updates at www.miamifilmfestival.com. You can also get answers to any questions you have about the festival by calling 305-237-FILM. Past lectures have been on such topics as when to look for representation, producing for public television and shooting in South Florida.

While entries are no longer being accepted, you can still be a part of the Miami International Film Festival. They are currently accepting volunteer applications at their website. You can also get information about volunteering by e-mailing volunteers@miamifilmfestival.com.

An estimated 70,000 audience members and 300 film makers were on hand last year, and like most Miami events, is expected to get even bigger and better in the new year.
