MIAMI
Best Seafood for Outshine Film Festival
If you’ll be attending the 2019 edition of the OUTSHINE Film Festival in Miami this April, we hope you’ll swing by Mercato della Pescheria for some of the finest seafood and Italian cuisine in South Florida during the proceedings!
Whether it’s a casual lunch or dinner or a large group feast in between screenings and panels, we’d absolutely love to wine and dine you at our Española Way restaurant here in South Beach.
The OUTSHINE Film Festival
The biggest LGBTQ arts-and-culture event in South Florida, the OUTSHINE Film Festival showcases international films and other media delivering “historical and contemporary perspectives on the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender experience,” as the website explains.
OUTSHINE is the new incarnation of a film festival that’s grown by leaps and bounds over more than two decades. It’s the rebranded version of the MiFo LGBT Film Festival, which came about in 2015 with the union of the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (established in 1998) and the Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (launched in 2008).
The Miami version of the OUTSHINE Film Festival—the 21st edition—takes over the town April 18th through the 28th; in October, OUTSHINE goes on in Fort Lauderdale.
Venues for the Miami festival include Regal Cinemas South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL)—which is only about a mile from our restaurant—and Scottish Rite (471 NW 3rd St., Miami, FL).
