2023 Outfest LA Film Festival

Studio 54 will forever be embraced as one of the premiere dance clubs the world has ever encountered. Opened during the height of the disco era, the iconic club was more than just music.

As Outfest prepares to launch its 41st edition on July 13, over two hundred filmmakers anxiously await to see how the Los Angeles crowds will respond to the dramas, comedies, shorts and documentaries programmed for the film festival that will be covering all aspects of the LGBTQ+ community. With a mission statement that proclaims an agenda to “give artists, filmmakers and entertainment professionals the opportunity to discover their voice, provide the pathways to the visibility of their work by all members of the public, and assure that their legacy will live on for generations to come,” Outfest is excited about its latest edition.

The Italian film Le Favolose (The Fabulous Ones) will likely make a splash with all its queer exuberance and feel-good attitude at the Los Angeles Outfest on July 16. Roberta Torre's film is the story of seven LGBTQ+ friends who get together to celebrate and remember their dead friend Antonia, who's been buried dressed as a man against her will.
