The Film Noir Shorts Competition and Film Showcase, hosted in partnership with the Humphrey Bogart Film Festival, the Bogart Estate, University of Miami's Department of Cinema and Interactive Media and its Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies, identifies, fosters and celebrates emerging and independent talent in the genre that Bogie made famous.
The weeklong program showcases the best classic film noir, neo-noir, and dark/noir comedy shorts from around the world. The week begins at the University of Miami with student shorts and pilot screenings, script table-reads, filmmaker workshops, networking events, and awards party. It then joins up with the classic Humphrey Bogart Film Festival (HBFF) in Key Largo at midweek (an hour's drive south of Miami) with additional short film screenings to complement their classic Bogart repertoire and other exciting festivities. (See www.bogartfilmfestival.com for the HBFF program and tickets).
