in 17 days

The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, is pleased to present the international premiere of its Centerpiece Film – Accidental Friends (Amici Per Caso) (Italy, 2024), an odd-couple romantic comedy. The film screens at 7:30 p.m. on April 24 at Regal Dania Pointe (128 Sunset Drive) in Dania Beach.

Pietro, a hunky passionate Roma football fan, is devastated when his girlfriend Lolly dumps him, tired of being second to football and his friends. Meanwhile, Omero, a refined young gay man, is also left by his partner after an embarrassing public proposal. Needing a roommate to afford his home, Omero ends up living with Pietro. Their unlikely cohabitation works until Omero reveals he’s gay, forcing Pietro to confront his own prejudices. When Pietro finds Lolly with another man, Omero unexpectedly helps him win her back, making Pietro realize that having a gay friend might not be so bad after all.

In Italian with English subtitles, the film runs 94 minutes.

An afterparty will follow at Bowlero (also at Dania Pointe).

This season’s OUTshine line-up hits Miami-Dade and Broward counties with thought-provoking, inspiring, entertaining and educational star-studded features, documentaries and shorts including premieres from 20 countries. The festival runs through May 4.
