*The Borscht Corporation is a Miami-based non-profit that awards grants to local filmmakers and artists, throws events such as the biannual Borscht Film Festival, and facilitates the creation of films, music videos, web experiments, and trendzmedia projects.
Borscht Corp. strives to continue "forging the cinematic identity of Miami both locally and globally," in their mission to "redefine Miami in cinema and vice-versa."
They have been called the “new faces of independent film” by Filmmaker Magazine, “idea-rich, imaginatively executed and drawing international acclaim” by Cool Hunting, “visionary and bold” by IndieFindsLA, “a freaky force to be reckoned with” by Hammer to Nail, and described as “making an impact across the filmmaking world” by Film Threat.
Beyond the creation of films, activities include throwing the biannual Borscht Film Festival, which has been called the “Miami’s alt-culture summit” as well as the “hippest, most eclectic and electric movie festival in South Florida” by the Miami Herald, and named “Miami’s Best Film Festival” by the New Times. The festival screens made-in-Miami films at venues such as the Ziff Opera House at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Miami Art Museum, and New World Symphony Wallcast alongside events like robot battles, petting zoos, and hypnosis shows.*
