The 33rd Miami International Film Festival has announced the full lineup for its 2016 edition, running March 4-13, and includes more than 100 features from over 40 countries, plus special tributes to Monica Bellucci, Gavin Hood and more.
“This year’s lineup is like a prism that invites Miami to see the world with an illumination that only the cinema, and the artists that create the work, can provide,” said the Festival’s Executive Director and Director of Programming Jaie Laplante in an official statement. “The programmers have populated the program with films and events that are essential to the complex, dynamic, ever-changing Miami of the now.”
This year’s Festival will showcase 129 films in total, including 100 feature films and documentaries and 29 short films. New to the festival this year will be the Marquee Series category, which is dedicated to on-stage conversations with major film personalities. Guests of the inaugural program include Monica Bellucci, Gavin Hood, Iciar Bollaín and Deepa Mehta. All four guests will have projects screening in the festival as well.
