Women+ Festival

A dynamic lineup of films, performances, talks, and visual art invites audiences to engage with global perspectives on identity, representation, and creative expression. The 6th Women+ Festival, presented by Inffinito from May 9 to 24, features both virtual and in-person events across Miami and Miami Beach, spotlighting the work of women and dissident voices in cinema and culture.

Curated by Viviane Spinelli, this year’s edition includes a curated selection of short and feature-length films from Brazil and beyond, alongside panel discussions and a visual art exhibition.

Virtual screenings are free and available from May 10 to 18, with two Panorama Rooms showcasing a wide range of films. Highlights include Lispectorante by Renata Pinheiro, MSD’Up – My Life With Multiple Sclerosis by Thais Fernandes and Rafael Corrêa, and shorts such as Albuesas by Gloria Albues and All That Matters by Coraci Ruiz.

In-person screenings take place at O Cinema South Beach on May 23 and 24, featuring works such as Milton Bituca Nascimento by Flávia Moraes, The Birth of H. Teixeira by Roberta Canuto and shorts like Light, Huong: A Fight for Peace, and Erosion.

The festival also presents Echoes of Madness on May 10 at the Hispanic Cultural Arts Center, an evening combining the short film To Be Normal, a theatrical performance by Ana Bugarim, and a post-show discussion on mental health, art and society. Artworks created by clients of Rio de Janeiro’s Casa das Palmeiras mental health center will also be on view.

A visual art exhibition at Emporium B Gallery (101 NE 54th St) runs May 15–22, curated by Liana Rivas. Featured artists—including Anna Biondo, Bella Cardim and Silvana Soriano—explore themes of migration and belonging. Artist talks on May 17 and May 20 further examine gender parity, leadership and identity through art.

With its hybrid format and interdisciplinary focus, the Women+ Festival offers a space for reflection, dialogue and discovery through creative work by underrepresented voices.
