Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Fest Kicks Off

Keith Jordan & Adamo Ruggiero star in "Make the Yuletide Gay"

The Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (FLGLFF) is back for another five days of gay-friendly films, showcasing over two dozen movies from today (November 11th) to the 15th.

Among the titles, all having their South Florida premieres, are holiday comedy “Make the Yuletide Gay,” the Edgar Allen Poe-based thriller “House of Usher,” and the sequel to hit gay franchise “Eating Out,” “Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat.”

On Friday the 13th, Gateway Cinema premieres “House of Usher,” the latest Poe-adaptation from director David Decoteau, who also helmed the “Brotherhood” films. Also premiering the 13th at the Las Olas Riverfront Cinema is “Misconceptions,” a comedy drama starring “Mad TV” album Orlando Jones.

Rebekah Kochan and Mink Stole return for thirds of “Eating Out” with the latest sequel, “Eating Out 3: All You Can Eat,” which premieres Saturday, November 14th at Gateway Cinema.

“Degrassi: The Next Generation” star Adamo Ruggiero joins newcomer Keith Jordan in “Make the Yuletide Gay,” playing Sunday, November 15th at Gateway Cinema. “Make the Yuletide Gay” is about a not-so-out college student who has to keep the relationship secret from his family when his boyfriend visits during the holidays.

“I Can’t Think Straight,” premiering Sunday, November 15th at the Las Olas Riverfront Cinema, tells the story of an Indian woman and Palestinian woman who meet and fall in love.
