MIAMI, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boca Raton-based TransMedia Group announced it was retained by the not-for-profit IsraFest Foundation to do publicity for the 23rd Israel Film Festival December 9-16 in Miami, which this year will honor Israel's Consul General to Florida and Puerto Rico Ofer Bavly and feature Grammy Award winning violinist Miri Ben-Ari.

TransMedia Group will publicize The Israel Film Festival's Opening Night Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Colony Theater at 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach.

"This is a special honor for us to have been selected as the Israel Film Festival's PR firm on this most auspicious year celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israel," said TransMedia's CEO Tom Madden. "We're honored to promote this prestigious event held annually in Los Angeles, New York and Miami and is the largest showcase of Israeli Films in the U.S."

IsraFest Foundation Founder and Executive Director Meir Fenigstein said he selected TransMedia because "no other PR firm in Florida knows the Jewish community and entertainment press as well as TransMedia Group or has as many Hebrew-speaking publicists." He also cited the PR firm's experience in promoting Film Festivals, such as the Palm Beach International Film Festival and Greater Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.

TransMedia will publicize not only Israel Film Festival's opening night, which draws dignitaries, filmmakers and stars from Israel, but its entire run through Dec. 18 at Sunrise Intracoastal Cinema in North Miami Beach where it will feature more than 20 new Israeli feature films, documentaries and TV dramas.
