Opening night unfolds at the Miami Beach Bandshell with a French box-office hit celebrating maternal resilience, while the festival closes with an International Emmy Award–winning Israeli drama tracing a multigenerational journey shaped by Holocaust memory. Additional headline selections spotlight Miami-rooted stories, acclaimed international auteurs and films featuring notable actors, musicians and cultural figures.
Beyond traditional screenings, the festival integrates live performances, curated conversations and themed showcases such as a dedicated focus on contemporary French cinema and a Next Wave competition highlighting emerging voices. Community-centered programming includes free educational screenings in partnership with the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, reinforcing the festival’s long-standing commitment to access, history and dialogue.

Opening Reception: Cristina Lei Rodriguez: Baroque Islands
Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM - English
MOAD and Cristina Lei Rodriguez will host an opening reception in honor of the artist's new exhibition, Baroque Islands, on MDC's Hialeah Campus.
Cristina Lei Rodriguez: Baroque Islands presents new and recent paintings. For years, the artist has been combining sculpture, installation, painting, and photographic scans in her work. As opposed to including different media, this exhibition offers a special opportunity to consider her painting practice, with its dense layers evoking a multitude of forms. Beneath each layer of material, is another layer that offers a glimpse into an alternative world. Each painting is its own island, its own space, where a mix of materials from beads to paint and lacquer combine to make glistening surfaces suggesting both built and natural environments.

To create baroque art or to exist in a baroque space can mean many things. A term often associated with seventeenth-century Europe; baroque art and architecture took on new forms in the Americas. Baroque art can include a juxtaposition of contrasting elements as well as embellishment. It can be exuberant and emotional. Although it is most often used when speaking of historic visual, literary, and performance-based arts, manifestations of contemporary baroque exist all around us, including in the work of Cristina Lei Rodriguez.
Raised in Miami, the artist's family lineage extends to Cuba and Japan, and she spent extended time as a child and a young adult in Hawai'i visiting her grandmother. Islands are personal for the artist. Rich and varied landscapes inform the artist's work as does overlapping notions of place. From these national and international boundaries to her own backyard where plentiful plants multiply in the abundant humidity of Miami, the artist draws inspiration from complex textures, sumptuous colors, and intricate details.
This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College.
