Miami Film Festival unveiled the 2018 Official Festival Poster created by Miami Herald and Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Jim Morin.
“Jim Morin’s delightfully barbed creations have skewered contemporary issues over four decades. For the 2018 Miami Film Festival poster, his tongue-in-cheek work is open to a plethora of interpretations, from environmental through escapism and many more on either side of those debates.
My favorite? Miamians fondly embrace the often wacky hijinks that come with living in our tropical paradise – and for me, Morin’s 2018 poster encourages us to think of Miami life as if we were living in our own movie. Take 35, coming up!”
– Jaie Laplante, Festival Director
