The weekend carries the programme
Miami Film Festival GEMS runs October 29 to November 5, 2026. Friday October 30 to Sunday November 1 holds 27 screenings.
Saturday October 31 carries 11 and Sunday November 1 carries 12. The same four venues run on both days.
Book Friday October 30 as the arrival and Sunday November 1 as the departure. Two nights cover three programming days.
Release the midweek nights
The calendar thins after Sunday. Monday November 2 lists four screenings, and Tuesday November 3 lists six.
Closing night is Club Kid at Koubek Center on Thursday November 5 at 7pm. Bedford Park screens at O Cinema in Miami Beach at 6pm the same evening.
What the tickets cost
A general screening lists at $16.50, or $14.50 for members. A Centerpiece lists at $20. Special screenings run $25 to $82.
Each ticket carries a $2 to $10 processing fee. Six general screenings cost $99 in face value.
Where the passes stop
The Pick Six and Take Twelve passes redeem on general and Centerpiece screenings. The discount page states that they exclude the Opening Night film, the Closing Night film, retrospectives and celebrity conversations.
The pass price is unpublished. Both Book Now controls return to the same page with no figure.
The Debut on October 29 and Club Kid on November 5 sit outside both passes. The Love Witch carries a retrospective label.
Capacity and the rush line
The festival FAQ states that screenings sell in advance to capacity. Once capacity is reached, the event becomes rush line only.
About 15 minutes before a start, empty seats release and rush tickets sell onsite at full price. Ticket-holders are seated at the venue manager's discretion once the rush line opens.
Buy the weekend tickets before arrival.
