LOS ANGELES — Outfest Fusion 2013 LGBT People of Color Film Festival, Outfest’s spotlight on diversity in the LGBT filmmaking community, has announced screenings for its upcoming 10th annual Fusion Festival.
This year’s festival features the world premiere of “The DL Chronicles Returns,” the newest class of OutSet shorts and reprises favorites from Outfest Los Angeles, notably “Mosquita y Mari,” “Homeboy” and “My Brother, the Devil.”
Time honored favorite, “Fame,” will also screen during the festival.
Outfest’s Fusion Festival Gala program is set to feature a collection of short films, the presentation of the Fusion Achievement Award to Angela Robinson (D.E.B.S., Herbie Fully Loaded, “The L Word,” “True Blood”), and a vibrant party under the stars with celebrities, cocktails and L.A.’s best and brightest filmmakers and supporters.
“I am so proud to present the 10th anniversary of Outfest Fusion LGBT People of Color Film Festival,” Kirsten Schaeffer wrote in an official statement. “We started this festival in 2004 to shine a spotlight on filmmakers telling personal, brave, entertaining stories by and about LGBT people of color. Since then it has grown to include InFusion, a symposium for emerging filmmakers in partnership with NBCUniversal, and Fusion Lab, a pop-up-shop-style micro-cinema and filmmaking lab supported by the James Irvine Foundation.”
Fusion 2013 takes place March 22-23 in Los Angeles. Visit their website at for more information. http://www.outfest.org/fusion2013/
