Today is the kick-off of the 11th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival which will run through May 3rd. The 2008 Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival suffered as festival membership dropped 15 percent as a result of disillusioned fans who attended the 2007 festival which featured more experimental and dark programming.
Organizers of the 11th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival promises that this year will be much more different. The 10 day festival will feature 67 films from 17 different countries. The films will be more mainstream gay comedies and dramas created with a “queer perspective.” Thirteen of the films target lesbians while seven are in Spanish or Latin-based. Check out the venues and schedule on the website. Tickets are $11 and $7 for members. You may purchase tickets at www.MGLFF.com. For more information, call 305-534-9924.
