In this week’s Wire Magazine Cover Story we preview the fall installment of Miami Dade College's Miami Film Festival, GEMS. GEMS was envisioned as a shorter festival to spotlight acclaimed films about which there was awards chatter, those films that were award winners and those that explored the themes and possessed the qualities of films traditionally released in the fall. A precursor to the 34th annual Festival event in March 2017, Miami Film Festival's GEMS 2016 will continue to deliver quality films that inspire, provoke, and entertain, allowing the South Florida community to immerse themselves in a cinematic ride that will take them to unexpected places. Also in this issue of Wire Magazine, we share an interview with Jeff Hobson, dubbed "The Trickster," one of the magicians taking to the stage for the spectacular The Illusionists – the greatest magic show on earth, coming to South Florida.
