It's the third and final day of the Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival! As the night wraps up, we'd like to send a special thank you to FLUX, our Presenting Sponsor. A division of AIDS Healthcare Foundation, FLUX aims to raise the profile of the trans* and gender-nonconforming community by leveraging social events, creating safe spaces, and innovative advocacy initiatives. To learn more, visit their website at https://www.transidentity.org/
The intention of the Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival is to highlight and elevate Transgender Day of Remembrance. As we know, it is well beyond time to honor the transgender lives that have been lost to incessant, unnecessary violence, and to use media as an educational tool to bring that same violence to an end.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20th that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
Sadly, 2021 has already seen at least 47 transgender, nonbinary, or gender non-conforming people fatally shot or killed in the USA by violent means, the majority of which were Black and Latinx transgender women. We say "at least" because too often these stories go unreported -- or misreported.
If you have the time, please take a moment to honor the lives lost by watching our 2021 video vigil.

Jump, Darling
At 94, the late, great Cloris Leachman steals the show in this gloriously offbeat drama about a drag queen who takes time out to care for his wise-cracking grandma.
Russell is at a crossroads in life. Approaching 30 and wondering if his big plans to become a serious actor will ever come true, he looks for performance kicks as a drag queen.
The drag causes friction with his strait-laced businessman boyfriend, so he takes off for a bit of space at his grandma Margaret’s house. Rather than the convenient crash pad he had in mind, his usually quick-witted gran is at her own crossroads, becoming more forgetful than she’d like to admit.
As family secrets emerge, he is forced to find his feet, but will he land in stilettos or something more sober? Overflowing with warmth and wit, Jump, Darling is the perfect swansong for long-time LGBTIQ+ ally Leachman, that will further cement her iconic status for many a drag queen to come.

Language Lessons -Opening Film
Join us IN PERSON for our opening night film! LANGUAGE LESSONS. October 1, 7:30pm at Tampa Theatre
When Adam's (Mark Duplass) husband surprises him with weekly Spanish lessons, he's unsure about where or how this new element will fit into his already structured life.
But when tragedy strikes, his Spanish teacher, Cariño (Natalie Morales), becomes a lifeline he didn't know he needed. Adam develops an unexpected and complicated emotional bond with Cariño--but do you really know someone just because you've experienced a traumatic moment with them?
Bittersweet, honest, and at times darkly funny, LANGUAGE LESSONS is a disarmingly moving exploration of platonic love
Creative OUTlets Episode 2: Sam Obeid
Spoken word poetry continues to gain popularity -- from the National Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s poem “The Hill We Climb” which she recited at this year’s Presidential Inauguration and as soon as it was published debuted at #1 on bestseller lists -- to this summer’s release of the feature length movie Summertime, a dramatization of several poems written and performed by diverse and q***r high school students in Los Angeles. If you didn’t get a chance to view the film during our “Queer in Color’ BIPOC film festival last month, then check it out at the Tampa Theater starting July 9th.
Speaking of poetry, in this episode of Creative OUTlets co-hosts Zachary Hines and Derek Horne got to chat with local poet & activist Sam Obeid about her background inspiration and future projects. Be sure to watch the full interview to catch a performance of Sam reading “The Immigrant Poem”.
