Second Annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival

SECOND ANNUAL FESTIVAL AWARDS





The Second Annual Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival is scheduled for April 11-16, 2000 in historic South Beach. This year's Festival promises to be even bigger and better than last year, with 12 out-of-town guests attending, including actor Dean Cain, Academy Award-winning gay director Rob Epstein and others from France, Spain and the U.S.; the world premiere of a new film about Miami and the battle for the  Human Rights Ordinance; a film with Spanish heartthrob Javier Bardem in his first gay role; and parties and panels galore.

The Festival exihibits work of all genres, lengths and formats, including dramatic, documentary and experimental works, by, about and of interest to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities. Last year, the five-day festival drew more than 5,000 movie-goers to South Beach in July. Film buffs sold out the South Florida premiere screenings at the Colony Theater, attending films from Germany, Australia, England, Spain and the United States.  The Festival evolved from a similar undertaking of a few years ago, Queer Flickering Light, which produced two successful events in Miami in 1993 and 1996.
