Miami’s seventh “quasi-yearly” Borscht Film Festival runs from April 9-23, bringing films telling Miami stories created by regional filmmakers to iconic venues throughout Miami. Funded by Knight Foundation, the Festival hopes to forge Miami’s cinematic identity and generate global interest in the city’s film industry. In doing so, Borscht commissioned local teams of directors and musicians to create twelve original short films and one video game about Miami. The films will debut Saturday, April 23 at Borscht 7 at the Arsht Center.
