Slamdance Miami is a new, unique film festival celebrating emerging filmmakers from Central and South America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Florida taking place at the North Beach Bandshell from October 28-30, 2021.

Slamdance Miami’s programming is a collaboration between Slamdance, its alumni, and Miami’s arts leaders. This coalition has selected 18 films from filmmakers in 9 countries representing the future of filmmaking. Slamdance Miami’s opening night film is Malpaso, directed by Héctor M. Valdez from the Dominican Republic.

Passes and tickets may be purchased at the cost of $90 for a three-day pass and $15 for tickets to individual screenings, with additional tickets available at the door on the day of events. Discounted passes and tickets are available for Miami Beach residents, seniors, students, frontline workers, and active-duty military.

The festival will be presented in-person to a limited audience with COVID-19 protocols in place. The venue is open-air (covered with a canopy) and mask-wearing will be mandatory throughout the entire festival. Bandshell staff and crew follow strict COVID-19 protocols, including mandatory masks while working and rapid-tests for all who have not yet been vaccinated. This event is subject to change based on the COVID-19 situation at the time of the event. Up-to-date information about the festival’s COVID policy will be posted on the Slamdance Miami website.
