Outdoor films have become all the rage lately.
Probably why organizers of the Miami Short Film Festival have chosen the outdoor garden setting of Deering Estate to host their event on Sept. 20. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and the screening begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15.
As with all outdoor events, face coverings and social distancing are required and group gatherings are limited to 10 people. Blankets, lawn chairs and small picnic baskets are encouraged and welcomed.
