The Miami Film Festival is a charitable event held for 10 days
each year to foster energy and commitment to the value of creative
cinema. The mission of the festival is to bridge cultural
understanding and encourage artistic development by provoking
thought through film.
In addition, MoviePass will offer subscribers a chance to win
tickets to exclusive Miami Film Festival events.
“Miami Film Festival and MoviePass share a common value for the
traditional theatrical experience of cinema,” said Jaie Laplante,
Executive Director & Director of Programming for Miami Dade
College’s Miami Film Festival. “As cinema moves forward, we are
thrilled to partner with MoviePass in their tipping point year and
look forward to the energy of new ideas.”
“For MoviePass, it seemed like a natural partnership,” said
Mitch Lowe, CEO of MoviePass. “We brought our subscription price
down to make movies more accessible for movie-lovers. We want
people to enjoy films that are off the beaten path, films that they
may never have been exposed to if they had to pay the exorbitant
ticket prices many theaters charge. Miami has a vibrant film
community, and the world-class artists represented at the Miami
Film Festival deserve to have their movies seen on the big screen
just as much as any blockbuster.”
“Miami has a particular significance to us, since we have
offices here and are very much invested in the community,” said Ted
Farnsworth, CEO of HMNY and a Miami resident. “Our participation in
this amazing film festival is to further our commitment to the
importance of independent films and to do our part in making such
an exciting film community successful.”
With over 2 million subscribers and counting, MoviePass is a
major driver for independent movies and independent movie theaters
across the country. The Miami Film Festival provides a unique
platform for some of the world’s top filmmakers to showcase their
cinema to the vibrant city of Miami and the film industry as a
whole, growing and fostering a positive community of technical and
creative talent.
