2018 OUTFEST FUSION

The Outfest Fusion People of Color Film Festival is about to begin and on March 9 through 13, there will be wide array of features and shorts that tell LGBTQ experiences from across the globe. The Fusion Gala kicks off with a Shared Heritage shorts program and an encore screening of “Boys For Sale” which will then be followed by an after party that will feature a live performance from Mykki Bianco.



There will be several Los Angeles premieres including “White Rabbit” about a Korean-American performance artist who falls for a charismatic photographer; “Mr. Gay Syria”, a documentary that follows two Syrian refugees, one in Istanbul and the other in Berlin, who come together with the shared dream of entering an International contest as a openly gay Muslim; and “Surmaee Shaam (Evening Shadows)” which is set in India about a young man who comes out to his mother and her struggle to come to terms with this news and finding the strength to defy her husband and conservative society to support her son.





There will be a free special screening of an episode of the new Showtime series, “The Chi”, created by Emmy-winner, Lena Waithe which is based on her experiences of her life growing-up on the South Side of Chicago.



And the Closing Night Gala party will be a free event held at the California African-American Museum and will screen the entries of the One-Minute Movie Contest along with the selection of the winner.
