Announcing the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival

Join us in making the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival one of the most exciting festivals in Florida

Miami, FL November 11, 2014 The founding members of MiSciFi (Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival ) have been film-makers for some time. It has been a long trek, their biggest recognition came with the documentary Journey to Planet X, which has been called a "love letter to science fiction", a film that highlight our passion in the creation of fantastic film. They’ve had the wonderful opportunity to attend numerous festivals all over the world. During that time they’ve reflected on how nice would it be if the Florida community had a festival specifically featuring fantastic films. They invited their close friend Edward Figueroa, who has been working closely with them for some years now as a DP, and created our incredible team. Each of the MiSciFi founders are scientists, passionately driven to explore all things science, fact and fiction. They support and inspire the local film community through their own film-making.

They are fortunate to be aligned with Big Blue & You a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to inspiring and educating youth about marine conservation through arts and media. MiSciFi believes individual environmental stewardship is cultivated through education, art, film, communication, leadership, and service to the community, which will ultimately spur environmental advocacy on a global level. All contributions to this festival are tax deductible.

To date, there has been a lack of science fiction in the state of Florida and a big desire to showcase all the work that is out there, and MiSciFi believes that creating this festival will help to fulfill that desire. With your help, they can make this film festival a strong and vibrant new start for the South Florida community.

About the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival

The MiSciFi founding members have worked together on science-fiction themed independent film projects for years. We have attended sci-fi film festivals as far away as Europe, but have noted a lack of more local festivals that cater to this interest. To remedy this, we have formed the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival, a forum for inventive and imaginative filmmakers from all over to come and showcase their work. All of us in MiSciFi work in scientific fields, and greatly respect those that want to tell a story that takes science a step beyond.

The intent of MiSciFi is to showcase the best in Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, and other science-themed films from around the world. This jubilee is set in the trendy yet enticingly diverse metropolis of Miami, Florida and is being hosted in the luxurious Hyatt located in downtown Miami. Our inspirational environment is ideal to explore films that ponder the infinite possibilities our universe holds. Miami is already an international hub for many things, we intend to make it an international hub for fantastic films as well.
