The all-new VIRTUAL 22nd Annual Miami Edition of the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival is coming, August 20 through August 30!

The combined Miami and Fort Lauderdale 2020 Edition of the Festival starts with a Drive-In Opening Night experience beginning Thursday, August 20. The remaining film events will screen daily, throughout the 10 days with live Q&A’s and actor appearances to maintain the “festival” experience.

Films in the program will be first-run narrative feature length films, documentaries, and short films. Participants will be able to view the film for up to 48 hours after the start date. Centerpiece and Closing Night Films will also have a virtual party experience involving entertainment, silent auctions, and chances for the virtual festival-goer to interact with each other.

Ticketing, ticket packages, virtual festival memberships, and the festival line-up are all available now!

O Cinema
Lawrence Weiner's text-based work, SHELLS USED TO BUILD ROADS POURED UPON SHELLS USED TO PAY THE WAY, AT THE LEVEL OF THE SEA (2008), is now presented on The Bass' south-facing wall between Collins Avenue and Park Avenue! The work directly addresses the museum’s ocean-front context in Miami Beach, referencing its topography and adjacency to rising sea levels.

American Modernism explores classical music in the U.S. in the 20th century. What are the musical and artistic influences that affected composers during this time period? How can we hear those trends reflected in their music? Featuring music by Charles Ives, George Gershwin, Camille Saint-Saëns and John Williams.
