We are thrilled to present Miami Film Festival’s 12th annual GEMS, presented by Miami-Dade College. If you are interested in attending the 2025 event (October 29 – November 5) for media coverage purposes, please register here:

• Each media representative or influencer interested in covering the Festival must submit a press registration application.
• Film Crews: Please specify filming details and crew size under Type of Coverage.
• Festival’s credential/ticket policy: Media access is only confirmed via email in advance and is NOT available on-site. The Festival does NOT coordinate RSVP lists at the door or on the red carpet.
• Due to limited capacities, not all screening and event requests can be accommodated. 
• Please email the press teams for interviews and access to high-resolution images and b-roll for coverage opportunities.
• Press registration for the festival is underway and closes at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
• All applicants will be notified via email as to the status of their media accreditation and tickets by Friday, October 17, 2025.

We look forward to working with you during the 12th annual GEMS. To stay up-to-date on screenings, event happenings, press releases and participating talent, please follow @miamifilm on Instagram and visit www.miamifilmfestival.com. 

Please note that this is only a request and may not be approved.

Due to the large number of applications received each year, the Festival is unable to accommodate every request, but each application will be reviewed carefully. Media accreditation will be a per-case basis. Qualifying factors include confirmed pre-festival story assignments, samples of recent work and availability.

Thank you,
MFF Press Team
