Proiect description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commis approv award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the work
is new orhas never before been presented in Miami Beach.
As described in. the original application "Please note, the season schedule may be altered because of
availability of films— distributors typically don't negotiate until only months before a film's release. In order
to keep up to date based on availability of newly restored prints, for example, or the latest film from a new
and emerging filmmaker, timing may vary and new names. may appear based on surprise availability or
community demand. ". As an example, an opportunity in our "Great Director" series has arisen for
November 2011, because the great Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki's new film "Le Havre" is being
released and MBC has retained the rights to premiere it, so there will be a retrospective of his films in
November, moving the previously announced director to another month. Otherwise, festival dates may
slightly change as well, but generally MBC plans to collaborate with festivals and partners as planned.
