Tampa Bay International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival

FLORIDA’S LONGEST-RUNNING, BAY-SPANNING, LGBTQIA+ FILM FESTIVAL

Tampa Theatre is proud to welcome back the Tampa Bay International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival for its 34th annual opening night!

TIGLFF showcases a selection of compelling films and videos by, for, or about the LGBT community that Entertains, Enlightens & Empowers. This year’s opening night films include:

The Mattachine Family

7:00pm (Doors at 6:30pm)

Oscar (Juan Pablo di Pace, Mamma Mia) and Thomas (Nico Tortorella, Scream 4) meet cute, get married, have charming friends and burgeoning careers. Fate steps in and the two agree to be foster parents to a little boy, Arthur. When Arthur is reunited with his birth mother, Thomas realizes he loves being a dad.

Big Easy Queens

9:30pm Doors & Cabaret Pre-Show

Seems like a perfect time in Florida for campy gangland humor. Fort Lauderdale Director Erynn Dalton (The Gravedigger) delivers this raucous delight. Miss Minnie Bouvèé (Eric Swanson) is a full-bodied queen of the Big Easy underworld who finds herself under threat by a mysterious masked predator and the fragrance of gardenias, a “sore spot of torment” from Miss Minnie’s past.
