OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival: Celebrating Cinema, Diversity and Communitye

The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival is South Florida's premier LGBTQ+ cultural arts event, originating from the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (1998) and the Fort Lauderdale Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (2008). These two iconic festivals merged under one dynamic brand, reflecting our vibrant, multicultural audience and international recognition.

As a critically acclaimed platform, OUTshine is more than just a film festival-it's an immersive experience designed to inspire, entertain, and educate. Our mission is to foster community and celebrate LGBTQ+ stories through diverse films, videos, and media that explore historical and contemporary perspectives.
