The city that has it all! The Magic City has Nightlife, Little Havana, South Beach, endless shopping and beaches, every major-US Sport, Food & Wine,… and guess what else? The City of Miami is also home to art festivals! And the new kid on the block is The Miami International Cinefest! We host our event at the 5 story, glass theater, Silverspot Cinema Metsquare in downtown Miami. Our goal is to give more opportunities for independent filmmakers and screenwriters to showcase and promote their art in great theaters, in great cities!
We produce live & virtual screenings simultaneously, and offer a separate, special bundle of benefits called the FAME FACTOR TICKET. “Get into One and you’re Done!” If eligible, submissions receive Guaranteed Acceptance into our 10 GO Indie Film Festivals alongside Notification w/in 2 weeks! It's your Film Fest Fast Pass!
(Updates July 2022)
Please observe our submission deadline, notification, acceptance, and venue updates.
In light of economic conditions that are continuing to affect travel, venue rates, and basic costs all-around (post pandemic), we are forced to course correct for all The GO Indie Film Fests. Once again, we are combining all GO festival ‘live’ screenings into one location (and currently one date). We are moving the host venue from the Silverspot Cinema in Miami, to the luxurious Angelika Film Center in San Diego, CA. Furthermore, please observe the dates reflecting the amendments. Virtual screenings will be available for one week.
We wish we could say we had all the answers and a crystal ball. We can say, however, we guarantee the show must GO on, and will show up. The GO Fests are facing every uncertainty head on, and continue to fulfill our oath of producing the best possible events with the hand we are all dealt.
Finally, please be aware that with the current conditions facing our host theaters. The later you submit your film content, the increased challenge of squeezing it into our live screenings. But, not impossible. Add to this the final hurdle of our DCP, encoding policy. Please review the DCP policy, before submitting. We will gladly cater to any requests to restrict screenings on live or virtual platforms. Please let us know.
The GO Independent Awards Ceremony will be held on November 07, 2022 at the Angelika Film Center at Mosaic in Northern Virginia. We will update the notification date of our award winner results shortly.
***COVID STATEMENT***
We are producing a full on, live film festival. HOWEVER, we are susceptible to country, state and local laws, which enforce specific, gathering guidelines. To that end, circumstances beyond our control include venue policy and protocol, and insurance limitations.
For the year 2022 and for the foreseeable future, we will be producing both a virtual and live event. Please understand, before submitting, that with little to no notification, we may have to change presentation formats, venues, and/or dates.
Triumphant Trophies!
