Don't miss out: Your essential guide to South Florida film festivals this season
"The 17th edition of stereotype-defying indie movies, documentaries and riotously fun after-parties is still chiseling its lineup as of this writing, but already there are unmissable highlights. One is "Blue Moon," director Richard Linklater's ("Dazed and Confused," "Boyhood") comedy-drama starring Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart of Rodgers & Hart, the iconic American songbook dyad who found success until Hart's alcoholism drove Rodgers to seek a new collaborator in Oscar Hammerstein II."
"Others include "Boy George and Culture Club," a documentary about the 1980s British band; and a 25th anniversary screening of "Psycho Beach Party," a comedy-horror sendup of 1960s beach movies, that will be paired with a Psycho Beach Bash on Oct. 22 at Savor Cinema. Introduced last year, OUTshine has combined its fall edition by offering films (virtual and in-person), panel discussion and parties in Fort Lauderdale first before wrapping in Miami with three more days of screenings."
OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival runs Oct. 16-23 at Regal Dania Pointe in Dania Beach and Fort Lauderdale venues including NSU Art Museum, Savor Cinema and Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale, then Oct. 24-26 at multiple Miami theaters. The 17th edition features indie movies, documentaries, after-parties, Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon starring Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart, the Boy George and Culture Club documentary, and a 25th anniversary screening of Psycho Beach Party paired with a Psycho Beach Bash on Oct. 22. OUTshine combines virtual and in-person films, panel discussion and parties in Fort Lauderdale before wrapping in Miami. GEMS 2025 runs Oct. 29-Nov. 5 at Miami Dade College's Tower Theater and expands from five to eight days ahead of the Miami Film Festival.
