This celebration is in the trendy and progressively global megalopolis of Miami, Florida. Our creative and inspirational environment is ideal for exploring films that ponder the infinite possibilities our multiverse holds.

There will be workshops, panels, and lectures. In addition to this twelfth season, the Film Market will be available. We have invited distributors to connect with filmmakers.

Content submitted to the Miami Intl Sci-Fi Festival will be promoted on our website, in printed materials (such as the festival program), and in our press and marketing activity (this can include presenting films that we have selected to the press). The filmmaker gives MiSciFi the right to use the name of the film, and the images submitted for the uses listed. We also inquire if the filmmaker wants to screen their film at tours or similar activities; as we often get asked to provide guest spots at other festivals and events.

Once a film is officially accepted to the festival, the filmmaker can no longer withdraw it from the festival lineup. The filmmaker is also responsible for submitting the screening materials at least four weeks before the festival. If the screening will be a world premiere, please let us know as we will do our best to promote to the local community, and please keep us abreast of your production and marketing activities!

Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival is hereby granted the right to utilize an excerpt (about 2 minutes or less) from any film submitted and accepted for exhibition at the Festival for promotional purposes. The individual or corporation submitting the film hereby warrants that it is authorized to commit the film for screening, and understands and accepts these requirements and regulations. The undersigned shall indemnify and hold harmless Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival or its assignees, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees, and costs of the court) which may be incurred by reason of any claim involving copyright, trademark, credits, publicity, screening, and loss of or damage to the screening videos entered.

    Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival is a fantastic festival dedicated specifically to Science Fiction which is so cool. They create opportunities for filmmakers to interact directly with executives, managers, production companies, etc. The team is so dedicated and friendly - I would love to attend again in the future! Thanks for giving some love to WordLotto for Best Comedy.
