The 26th Miami International Film Festival has just released its selections for the 2009 season, March 6-15.  Under the leadership of the festival’s new director, Tiziana Finzi, who has curated film festivals in Switzerland and Italy,  the roster includes 97 feature- length films and 40 shorts from 40 countries.  Details of the films and schedule may be obtained through the  Miami International Film Festival website.

We have found the films to be high quality and of interest for those seeking cinema beyond standard Hollywood fare.  For new comers to the festival, we recommend trying to see a film at the splendid Guzman Theatre in downtown Miami, which evokes the 20s architecture and ethos of old Miami.   Hearing the old pipe organ played in a preclude to a film presentation is special indeed.

Classical music lovers need not wait for the stunning new Frank Gehry building to be finished to enjoy superb concerts at the New World Symphony on Lincoln Road Mall. Recently we attended a wonderful all Mendelssohn matinee which featured world-class piano and violin soloists, backed up by the talented young musicians honing their skills in post-graduate fellowships. All for the amazing price of a $12 general admission ticket in the existing concert hall, which has good acoustics if somewhat uncomfortable seating. 

It was thrilling to see such talent, passion and dedication in young musicians who come from around the world to study under renowned conductor and music director Michael Tilson Thomas. We highly recommend a visit for all who vacation here and those of us who live in Miami Beach and walk by the NWS without taking time to actually buy a ticket.
