OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival Fall Edition – “The Astronaut Lovers” Latin Spotlight Film + Afterparty

OUTshine Film Festival 6360 NE 4th Court, Miami, FL, United States
OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, is proud to present the Florida premiere of the stylish comedy “The Astronaut Lovers (Los Amantes Astronautas)” (Argentina/Spain, 2024), its Men’s Latin Spotlight Film. The film will screen on Friday, October 25, at 7 p.m., at Silverspot Cinema Miami (300 Southeast 3rd Street, #100). An afterparty featuring signature cocktails, light bites and entertainment will follow at Silverspot Cinema’s 5th Floor Lounge. Set against a languid summer by the sea in Argentina, “The Astronaut Lovers” is a breezy comedy about Pedro and Maxi, childhood friends reuniting as young men. Pedro, openly gay and charming, finds Maxi's curiosity about "gay shit" and his playful flirtations amusing. However, things shift when Maxi pretends Pedro is his boyfriend to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. This playful ruse causes Pedro to blur the lines between reality and fantasy, leading to unforeseen complications in their evolving relationship. The film explores how their game of pretense impacts their genuine feelings and connection. A sexy and stylish look at sexuality in all forms. In Spanish with English subtitles. The film runs 116 minutes. OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival fall edition runs through November 3!

Regal South Beach ScreenX, IMAX & VIP 1120 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL, United States
OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, is pleased to present the Southeast premiere of the daring queer love story “LAYLA” (UK, 2024), its Closing Night Film. An afterparty will follow. The film will screen on Sunday, October 27, at 6 p.m., at Regal South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road Mall). An afterparty featuring an open bar, signature cocktails, light bites, a DJ and dancing will take place at IT Italian Trattoria (1014 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139) directly following the screening. Layla is a struggling British-Palestinian drag performer whose confident façade hides their desperate desire for love. When their performance at a belittling corporate Pride event turns into a transgressive takedown, they are surprised to win the affection of Max, a charming, successful white gay man who is bewitched by Layla's power on stage. It sparks a thrilling romance from across the spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, as both Layla and Max negotiate how desire and identity can sometimes collide. With a booming soundtrack and visual flair, Layla is a powerhouse film for those who identify as any of the letters of LGBTQIA+. In English and Arabic with English subtitles. The film runs 99 minutes. OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival fall edition runs through November 3!
