2025 Update

    OUTLOVE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVALwas overly excited, over-the-moon, to announce plans to show fabulous LGBT films and premiere documentaries over a long weekend at theaters near You in Southwest Florida in year 2025. Southwest Florida speaks: film festival fan club is still worried about COVID-19; not ready to embrace indoor entertainment activities in year 2025. OUTLOVE looks forward to see if Southwest Florida is ready for the film festival in year 2026. 

     OUTLOVE supports our companion film festivals to help them get back on their feet, and, at the same time, bring new LGBT films into our homes in Southwest Florida.

     Three long years of COVID-19 dealt a huge financial setback to LGBT film festivals in the U.S. and around the world, and, dried up the supply of new LGBT films.

     Florida’s two, long-standing, LGBT film festivals, in Miami/Fort Lauderdale and Tampa/St. Pete, are trying their best to bring back the LGBT film festival experience.
