Just in time for summer, the Learning Resources Department at Miami Dade College (MDC) will host again the Learning Resources Summer Film Festival June 1 through the end of July. The college-wide film festival will feature a diverse and exciting schedule of movies all summer long, ranging from animation, comedy, and action to films on conservation.
This is the third film festival hosted by the Learning Resources Department. Last year, the Welcome to Miami Summer Film Festival screened movies filmed in sunny South Florida, including Miami Vice, The Birdcage, and Meet the Fockers. The festival kicked off in 2014 with the Shakespeare and Snacks! Summer Film Festival which garnered city-wide attention with its celebration of the classic playwright’s 450th birthday.
All films and snacks are free to students, staff, and faculty.
