[About The Festival]
The European Film Festival [in Miami] has a unique position in the
landscape of the major film festivals. For the last 6 years, thousands of film
enthusiasts and industry professionals from all over the world meet in Miami
and transform the city into an international capital of auteur cinema. The
weeklong festival has become an important meeting point for the European film
industry to share their thirst for new discoveries and passion for cinema.
Red Chemistry Inc, a non-profit organization incorporated in Florida
with a mission to promote the art of filmmaking in South Florida and around the
world, was created by Isabelle Lambert in 2006. Since then, the Festival has
brought more than 150 films in 12 languages from all over Europe. Cultural,
institutional and corporate partners have supported this event to promote
European film industry for the last five years.
In 2012, the
European Film Festival in Miami will offer about 45 screenings - taking place
at Miami’s busiest film locations. Locations such as the newly renovated Miami Beach Cinematheque, Cinema O, The
Gusman Theater, Miami Beach Colony Theater and the brand new Coral Gables Art
Cinema.
Located at the crossroads of a multi-cultural audience and thanks to
the Eurocinema V.O.D release, the festival has become a unique launch platform
for new films from Europe. In order to reinforce its position as a major film festival,
prestigious opening and parties will take place during the course of the
festival. Filmmakers, actors and producer who come to Miami for the premiere of
their films will have a unique opportunity to interact with cultural
personalities, celebrities, and carefully selected guests during various
