We are ready to bounce into today’s exciting lineup after partying with the Queen of Bounce Big Freedia last night! Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ Film Festival returns today to Directors Guild of America and starts our first day of showings at Plaza de la Raza.
In case you missed our announcement last weekend, we are hosting a FREE screening of the hit gay rom-com Fire Island today at 5pm in DGA 2! Set in the iconic Pines, Outfest Alum Andrew Ahn brings us an unapologetic, modern day rom-com showcasing a diverse, multicultural examination of queerness and romance. We will also host two special $5, 5pm screenings this week: My Fake Boyfriend on Tuesday and an encore screening of our opening night film Anything’s Possible on Wednesday.
COVID PROTOCOL UPDATE: Due to the rising number of Covid Omicron BA.5 cases and in order to better assure the safety and health of all, attendees will now be required to wear masks at all indoor screenings and workshops with the exception of actively drinking or eating, in venues that allow it. Masks will also be strongly encouraged in all lobby spaces, public areas, outdoor screenings and social gatherings.
With Kathy Griffin, Alaska Thunderfuck, Margaret Cho and More!
Outfest is back at the Ford with three nights of drag, comedy and, of course, worldclass LGBTQ+ cinema!
Follow eccentric, queer siblings and their significant others as they try to start an unconventional family while navigating their thirties in Unconventional! The screening features live appearances by cast member Willam Belli, and the evening’s Mistress of Ceremonies…Kathy Griffin!
Get your drag fix with our screening of God Save the Queens, a hilarious and surprisingly emotional dramedy about the lives of four struggling Los Angeles drag queens staring Alaska Thunderfuck, Laganja Estranja, Kelly Mantle, and Jordan M Green! The screening will be preceded by live performances from the four stars.
Get ready to laugh with our final night, a showcase of unbridled queer joy with queer comedy shorts and stand-up! I Have to Laugh: Comedy Night at the Ford starts with a stand-up showcase featuring the cast of Queer Riot — Margaret Cho, River Butcher, Brad Loekle, Akeem Woods, and Daniel Webb followed by eight comedy shorts!
