Have fun and earn valuable professional experience!

Miami International Film Festival (MIFF) internships are designed to provide work-related learning experience for students in one or more areas of the Festival. The MIFF internship program allows a student to gain professional experience in an area of interest, including sponsorship, grants, marketing, outreach, membership, business, and operations, etc., with responsibility and supervision that facilitates learning. The Miami International Film Festival is the center of the film and entertainment industry in Miami. Participating in a MIFF internship will provide students with a unique understanding of Miami’s unique multi-cultural environment and is an excellent way to determine if this industry and profession is a viable career option for them. Interns gain practical work experience while building skills in various film festival platforms.

A MIFF internship helps students to combine theory with practical work experience. Interns will develop professional work habits as well as an understanding of the various MIFF areas with the opportunity to study various work settings and differences in work styles.
