Miami Art Magazine

The Miami Beach Arts Trust, established in 1999 as a 501(c)(3) organization by the City of Miami Beach, aims to promote awareness and provide funding for the arts. In 2002, following a recommendation from the City Manager, the Trust became an independent entity. The Trust not only organizes workshops and highlights individual artists across various art forms but also serves as a fiscal agent for smaller non-profit organizations. It operates under the guidance of a volunteer board of directors. One of its most notable achievements is the launch of an online publication designed to better connect with South Florida's arts community and art enthusiasts. This initiative was envisioned by Harvey J. Burstein, the Chair of the Miami Beach Arts Trust. Each edition features original articles on arts and entertainment, professional critiques, and photo galleries from miamiartzine.com's skilled photographers. The publication has grown to include coverage of not just Miami-Dade County, but also Broward and Palm Beach counties. The positive feedback from the arts community has played a significant role in the continued expansion of miamiartzine.com.

Third Horizon Film Fest Selections Explore Cultural Identity

1 week ago | miamiartzine.com | Ruben Rosario

Miami is often regarded as a gateway to the Americas. Latin American countries figure prominently in the art produced in South Florida, so why is it so difficult to gain access to stories from the Caribbean, by artists with strong ties to the Caribbean? Third Horizon Film Festival aims to fill that gap every year, bringing shorts, documentaries and fiction features from these countries and territories to the Magic City for a weekend jam-packed with screenings, panels and other events.
Can Eye-Popping Stunts Save Eighth 'Mission: Impossible'?

The postcard was small, but its impact was pretty big. I just had to show it off to my high school classmates. “Look! Tom Cruise wrote me back!” I said as I held up the cherished parcel, the thank-you note it contained on the appealing side of generic.

Young Filmmakers Get Personal In 'Things,' 'Sundays'

The sidelines are just too limiting. For way too long, gay men with a few extra pounds have been belittled, pigeonholed and dismissed when it comes to their portrayal in movies and TV. They tend to be the butt of the joke, comic relief with crackerjack timing and stinging one-liners. The reliable sidekick? Been there. The loyal friend with a pep talk always handy? Done that. The backstabbing frenemy with a penchant for stealing scenes? Yes, indeedy.
'Fall,' 'Misericordia' Tell Tales Of Crime And Punishment

It's already starting to feel like summer out there, but one South Florida arthouse is skipping a few months ahead. Two French movies playing at Coral Gables Art Cinema this month dive headfirst into fall with stories set in picturesque rural villages where the mood is decidedly autumnal: We're not in Paris anymore, Toto. But don't be fooled by the serene surfaces and radiant vistas.
Grand Visions Fill 'Sinners,' 'Shrouds,' 'Tour' and 'Ochi'

Not so fast, moviegoers. The arrival of “Thunderbolts*,” Marvel's antihero ensemble action film, in theaters this weekend marks for too many people the beginning of the summer movie season. To call that declaration premature is an understatement of seismic proportions. The calendar still says spring from where this critic is sitting, and this past month brought a wealth of riches to South Florida screens, and not just at back-to-back film festivals.

The night beckons, full of promise, but also bearing a hint of danger and, even more daunting, the opportunity to do some soul searching. So it goes for two international movies premiering at the tail end of OUTshine Film Festival's Spring 2025 edition. Closing weekend for this portion of the twice yearly event kicked off Thursday night in Dania Beach and goes until Sunday with screenings in Fort Lauderdale. It follows days of screenings and parties in Miami Beach.
Florida Grand Opera's ‘Carmen' Not Your Grandmother's Bizet

If Florida Grand Opera’s latest production of “Carmen” is any indication of the direction the seventh oldest opera company in the United States is going, then the professional opera company in South Florida is on solid footing.
New Queer Rom-Coms Are High On Drama, Low On Romance

They breeze their way into our lives, determined to put an extra spring in our step. When they work, they lift our spirits and possess the ability to turn the most hardened cynic into a true believer in the transformative power of L-O-V-E. When they don't, they're capable of making you swear off dating for a good long while. Romantic comedies are about as old as cinema itself. They have been the cherries on top of date nights for generations, at the movies or on intimate nights at home.
Taut 'Warfare' Earns Its Stripes

1 month ago | miamiartzine.com | Ruben Rosario

“Warfare” is a panoply of uncomfortable silences and deafening disruptions. The new combat film, set during the Iraq War, nails the disorienting fog one feels when a situation spirals beyond our control with unpredictable haste, and how, in the midst of escalating violence, those who find themselves in the same boat as you hold the key to finding your center. Carnage, brotherhood, despair and the quest for order amid chaos.
