The 2024 Melbourne Independent Filmmakers Festival (MIFF) will celebrate its 26th year on October 17-19 at the Premiere Theaters Oaks 10. Each year, the MIFF showcases fantastic independent films from around the country and the world and, as part of their mission, proudly showcase Florida-produced films. But what sets the MIFF apart is that they raise funds for charity. Over the years, they have raised over $70,000 to benefit the No Limits Academy, a non-profit private school dedicated to providing innovative education to children with complex physical disabilities.
The film festival’s program chairman, Dr. Terrence Cronin, Jr. believes that the MIFF’s success is based upon the good will they bring to the film community. “We get fantastic movies submitted to us and the support of celebrities and filmmakers because they know their works will be enjoyed by our enthusiastic audience and it’s all for a great cause,” Cronin explains.
This year, the theme is Mermaid Wishes and Tiki Dreams! And will feature a variety of films celebrating mermaid and tiki culture. Films like Isla Monstro, Marina the Fire-eating Mermaid, The Donn of Tiki, and others!
Expect a great festival and photo opportunities thanks to A Cut Above Video, Inc., Turner Talent, and Kim.E. Events. Expect great international, comedy, horror, and drama throughout the festival!
The full 2024 MIFF schedule will be available online at the MIFF website (MelbourneFilmFestival.org) and in the October issue of Brevard Live magazine. Tickets will be available at the MIFF website and, during the festival, at the theater. Plans are in the works for an opening night party, comedy and musical performances, and, above all, cinematic excellence.
