OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival: Strong Proud, and United
The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival is South Florida's premier

(2008). These two iconic festivals merged under one dynamic brand,
reflecting our vibrant, multicultural audience and international recognition.

festival - it's an immersive experience designed to inspire, entertain,

stories through diverse films, videos, and media that explore historical
and contemporary perspectives.
Beyond our flagship festivals, OUTshine is a year-round cultural event
