South Florida celebrates the LGBT community at this week long
MIAMI GAY &
LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL screening films and videos at cinemas in Miami and
Fort Lauderdale. An ideal way to encourage a sense of community, promote
tolerance and understanding, the series includes historical and
contemporary perspectives of the LGBT experience. In addition to this
week dedicated to film, monthly gatherings from June through February
provide further opportunities for film buffs that are both educational
and social.
Sponsored by Miami Dade County and cable giant HBO, the 14th Annual Gay
& Lesbian Film Fest is scheduled in late April, 2012 with set screen
dates to be announced very soon. Supported by paid memberships, the
festival offers student, individual, couple and director levels of
giving which allow donors to purchase advance film tickets, discounted
admission to select films and invitations to a variety of special
events. Members enjoy priority entrance and preferred seating at major
events as they share a unique opportunity to support this dynamic
artistic community.
If you are interested in purchasing tickets to individual events or in
joining the volunteer crew that helps staff the April festival or
monthly screenings, log onto the official website or e-mail info@mglff.com.
Volunteer opportunities are also available for the Board of Directors,
the Fund Raising Committee, the Marketing and Membership drives and the
Party Committee. To keep up with the latest news, follow the fest on
