StrosbergMandel shine at ART GAYSEL Miami Beach’s QUEER ART Fair
As Jaie Laplante the Festival’s Executive Director cut his teeth helming the city’s LGBT Film Festival several years,he has always insured that the Miami Film Festival incorporates a very healthy selection of LGBTQ movies in their programming. Not only that, but the eclectic mix they pick is adventurous, provocative, mesmerising and thoroughly entertaining. By also throwing in a few groundbreaking and potentially controversial films, their offer is one that we cannot miss and find ourselves generally wholeheartedly recommending.
Here then, in alphabetical order is our pick of the best of the queer movies at the Festival this year : Diamantino, Fireflies, Giant Little Ones, Jose, Knife + Heart, Socrates, Sorry Angel, Tremors & the short Nocturnal Creatures,

SAUVAGE is one of the most powerful French queer movies of the year and is the feature film debut of writer/director Camille Vidal-Naquet. It stars Felix Maritaud (whose breakthrough role was in the multi-award winning AIDS drama BPM Beats Per Minute) and who was recently described as the ‘the hottest young actor on the planet you’ve never heard of”. You will never forget after seeing his performance as the young street hustler with a heart that won him the Best Newcomer Award at Cannes Film Festival last year.
