ABOUT US
It's time to OUTshine
The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival started in 1998; the Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Festival in 2008. Both were brought together under one brand: OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival - underscoring our broad appeal and dynamic multi-cultural location. Critically and internationally acclaimed, it serves as a platform for numerous premiers and is the largest LGBT cultural arts event in South Florida.
Outshine is everything you want in a film festival... inviting, glowing, and eclipsing all others before it. Our mission is to inspire, entertain, and educate; encouraging a sense of community through international and culturally diverse film, video, and other media that offer historical and contemporary perspectives on the LGBTQ+ experience.
OUTrageous. OUTspoken. And OUTstanding in what we deliver. Join us in 2023 for the Miami Edition of OUTshine. April 20 - 30, 2023 and the Fort Lauderdale Edition of OUTshine, October 12 - 22, 2023.
OUTshine is an all year cultural arts event with monthly screenings, sneak-peeks of upcoming films with both In-Person events and virtual screenings AT-HOME.
