GEMS is underway: films and conversations across Miami
Miami Film Festival GEMS, presented by Miami Dade College, continues following its opening night, with an edition featuring 50 titles, filmmaker conversations and special tributes.
The festival opened with The Debut, directed by Jesse Eisenberg and starring Julianne Moore. The film follows a woman whose small role in a community theater production sparks an unexpected artistic ambition.
The lineup includes Pedro Almodóvar’s Bitter Christmas, James Gray’s Paper Tiger, Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine and La Bola Negra from Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi. Also featured is Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s The Beloved, starring Javier Bardem and Victoria Luengo. Jordan Firstman’s Club Kid is the closing night selection.
Beyond the screenings, the program includes a career conversation with John Turturro, a discussion with Los Javis and Guitarricadelafuente about La Bola Negra, and a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Hedwig and the Angry Inch with John Cameron Mitchell.
These encounters bring audiences closer to the creative choices and personal experiences behind the films, making GEMS a place to discover new perspectives and join the conversation.
