You may also send a formal notice to the Festival by emailing conduct@miamifilmfestival.com. Please remember that notifying us does not constitute or replace a notification to local law enforcement.

For Emergencies
Immediately dial 911, then contact a staff member.

Are all of your theaters / venues wheelchair accessible? 
Yes. The Festival is committed to accommodating attendees with disabilities. To receive assistance, please make yourself known to the theater / venue manager.

Do you have assisted listening devices?
Please contact accessibility@miamifilmfestival.com for information regarding assisted listening devices (ALDs) at venues.

Are festival films closed caption?
All foreign language films will have English subtitles. Exclusions may apply for live events. For closed captioning, please refer to individual pages for more information.

The Festival’s audience-voted awards are determined by audience-collected responses to individual films that are eligible for the awards. Audiences at in-person screenings are invited to scan a QR code that will take them to a private MFF voting page. Audience members can then select the link for the film they viewed and rate it on a numeric scale, immediately following the screening. The link will be deactivated after a limited time. Duplicate votes from the same IP address are removed prior to calculating the average score of each film. Audiences at virtual screenings are invited to rate each film they view on the same numeric scale. At the end of the festival, films that have passed the threshold of being in the top 50% of votes by volume will continue on to the final eligibility round, where the winner is then determined by the highest overall score in each audience-voted category. Films that screen more than once or in hybrid format will have their vote-volumes (but not their overall average score) adjusted to be equitable to films that screen only once. In all categories, should the two top final scores be separated by less than 1/10 of a percentage point, a tie will be declared. A winner and the top two runner-ups in all categories will be announced at the conclusion of the Festival. Ratings and final scores are confidential and not published or shared.

For more information regarding Festival submission requirements, visit our Call for Entries page.

Are festival films appropriate for children?
We have a few select films in the festival that are focused on family-friendly content. However, most films are not yet rated and we are unable to advise on appropriate content. Please be sure to read film descriptions carefully. There are no refunds or exchanges on tickets. We do not give refunds based on content!

Recording devices
The use of cameras, or of other recording equipment is strictly prohibited during any screening or program.
