Event Details
OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, is pleased to present the Southeast premiere of the daring queer love story “LAYLA” (UK, 2024), its Closing Night Film. An afterparty will follow.
The film will screen on Sunday, October 27, at 6 p.m., at Regal South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road Mall). An afterparty featuring an open bar, signature cocktails, light bites, a DJ and dancing will take place at IT Italian Trattoria (1014 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139) directly following the screening.
Layla is a struggling British-Palestinian drag performer whose confident façade hides their desperate desire for love. When their performance at a belittling corporate Pride event turns into a transgressive takedown, they are surprised to win the affection of Max, a charming, successful white gay man who is bewitched by Layla's power on stage. It sparks a thrilling romance from across the spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, as both Layla and Max negotiate how desire and identity can sometimes collide. With a booming soundtrack and visual flair, Layla is a powerhouse film for those who identify as any of the letters of LGBTQIA+.
In English and Arabic with English subtitles. The film runs 99 minutes.
