Miami Dade College (MDC)’s acclaimed Miami Film Festival returns to present its 39th annual edition from March 4-13, 2022 in a hybrid format, with both in-theater and virtual presentations. The 2022 Festival will celebrate more than 120 feature narratives, documentaries, and short films of all genres, from more than 35 countries with screenings taking place at both the historic Tower Theater Miami on Calle Ocho and Silverspot Cinemas, in the heart of Downtown Miami. This year’s program will open and close with two Oscar-shortlisted films, Fernando León de Aranoa’s Spanish comedy The Good Boss and Abner Benaim’s Panamanian drama Plaza Cathedral. The Festival’s closing night presentation will take place on Saturday, March 12, at the Festival’s new Awards Night gala home, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. In 2020, the closing night party was to be a celebration of Walter Mercado with Kareem Tabsch and Cristina Costantini’s Mucho Mucho Amor, but was canceled due to COVID; thus, the Festival will dedicate its 2022 Opening Night Party to honoring Mercado, one of Miami’s most beloved residents, on Friday, March 4, at The Historic Alfred I. Dupont Building. Precious Gem Awards will be presented to Ramin Bahrani (2nd Chance, The White Tiger) and Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car). Art of Light Awards will be presented to cinematographer Ari Wegner (Zola, The Power of the Dog) and composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer (The White Lotus).
