The 2020 edition of Outfest Fusion, a Los Angeles cinematic celebration of the QTPOC community, is set this year on March 6th to March 10th and will feature film screenings, performances, panels and workshops. The opening night will feature a selected collection of short films which showcases emerging new film making talent and will be held at the Aratani Theatre at the Japanese American Community Cultural Center.
Some feature films that will be screened include "I Am The Other One", a documentary by Silvia Godinho about the struggles and triumphs of three Brazilian trans men; "Driveways", Andrew Ahn's drama about the life-changing experiences of a young mother (Hong Chau) after she takes her young, sensitive son to spend the summer in a small New York town; Sebastián Muñoz's "The Prince (El Principe)" tells the story set in a Chilean prison with a handsome, young convict entering a world filled with cruelty and clandestine arrangements before becoming the protégé of a fearsome older inmate; and "Breaking Fast", a romantic-comedy from director, Mike Mosallam which looks at a practicing gay Muslim (Haaz Sleiman) whose life is turned upside down after his longtime boyfriend abruptly ends their relationship right before Ramadan.
There will be a legacy screening of "Mosquita y Mari" at Plaza de la Raza. This winner of the Best First Feature Award at Outfest in 2012 from writer/director, Aurora Guerrero follows a blossoming friendship between two Chicana high schoolers in Huntington Park, CA.
And closing night will feature the One Minute Movie premiere screenings and awards, followed by a blow-out finale party.
