The Miami Film Festival returns for the 2026 edition. From April 9 to April 19, the festival runs as a citywide program rather than a single destination, with screenings scheduled daily across multiple venues and neighborhoods.
What do you need to know about the Miami Film Festival 2026
Over 11 days, more than 160 films from over 45 countries are shown, including world premieres and regional debuts. The schedule is built to run continuously, with films starting in the afternoon and continuing into the night.
Instead of one central lineup, the program unfolds across different locations, which means each day is shaped by how you choose to move through it. You can check every detail on the Miami Film Festival official website.
