Le Tub 50th Anniversary Weekend Party
Saturday, 05/31/2025-06/01/2025, 11:00 am-01:00 am
Le Tub
1100 N. Ocean Drive,
Hollywood, Florida, 33019
Website
Cost: Free

Le Tub, the iconic waterfront dive bar known for its world-famous burgers
and laid-back charm, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a weekend-long bash from May 31
– June 1, 2025. For half a century, Le Tub has been a must-visit destination for locals and
travelers alike, offering delicious food, cold drinks, and an unbeatable atmosphere along the
Intracoastal Waterway.
To mark this milestone, Le Tub is pulling out all the stops with a 2-day celebration featuring live
bands, food and drink specials, souvenir T-shirts, exclusive gifts, prizes, and more. Guests
can enjoy the same relaxed, no-frills ambiance that has made Le Tub a beloved institution, while
indulging in the burger that put it on the map.
At 50 years young, Le Tub has just completed a major restoration — including a brand-new dock
and seawall built to withstand higher tides. The waterfront seating is now shaded by tiki huts,
and the patio areas feature transparent roofs so guests can enjoy the view rain or shine. The
restaurant’s beloved Old Florida vibe is alive and well, with more than 2,000 quirky, colorful
items — collected over decades from the beach by guests, lifeguards, and founder Russel T.
Kohuth on his daily jogs — lovingly cleaned, restored, and reinstalled. The original clawfoot
tubs remain, freshly repainted with the playful sayings everyone loves. Longtime regulars will
feel right at home, while first-timers will be delighted by this joyful, one-of-a-kind collection of
beachside nostalgia.
Le Tub’s legendary burger was named “The Best Burger in America” by GQ Magazine in
2006, a recognition that catapulted the restaurant to national fame. Even media powerhouse
Gayle King, anchor of CBS Mornings, raved about the burger to none other than Oprah
Winfrey, who herself praised it, further cementing Le Tub’s status as a must-try culinary
experience.
As part of the anniversary festivities, a portion of the weekend’s proceeds will be donated to
local charities, including the Hollywood Historical Society, to honor the community that has
supported Le Tub over the decades.
Join us for a weekend of celebration, nostalgia, and great food as we toast to 50 years of Le
Tub—where history, flavor, and good times come together!

Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants—Israelis and Palestinians—working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Faced with escalating devastation and violence, the very core of the movement must face great challenges and show that there is another way. The first question they have to face is their own belief…is this possible?

When Brian Epstein set foot in the Cavern Club in November 1961 to watch The Beatles perform, he saw something no one else could – a glimmer of gold. Sharply dressed and well-spoken, Brian was hardly the most obvious radical – but being Jewish, closeted and having grown up as an outsider who had failed at pretty much everything, he was a 26-year old with something to prove and who wanted to tear up the rulebook.

Photography as Art takes you on a journey through pre-visualized narrative explorations—experiments in light, optics, and composition, all shaped by the precision of traditional photographic tools. Through intricate staging and logistical coordination, this documentary embraces the artistry of the camera itself, inspired by a deep passion for the medium.

Presented by James Schot, the featured works stand apart from digitally constructed imagery, often mistaken for software-generated compositions. To define this distinction, he describes his photography as a bridge between analog and digital. Step into the creative mind behind the lens and discover the artistry woven into each framed canvas.

Ada Karmi-Melamede is one of the most accomplished architects in the world, yet her work remains largely unrecognized beyond architectural circles. In the 1970s, she moved to New York from Israel, following her husband’s rising career, and spent the next 15 years balancing academia, large-scale public projects, and motherhood. While teaching at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, she contributed to major urban initiatives, including a master plan for Con Edison, a study for mixed-use development along the proposed Second Avenue Subway, and a 1978 housing competition on Roosevelt Island—all while raising three young children.

But in the early 1980s, after being denied tenure at Columbia, Ada made a bold decision to leave New York and her family for the opportunity of a lifetime – the design of the new Supreme Court of Israel. While her career flourished, personal sacrifices mounted as she remained far from her family. Ada’s work gave physical form to some of Israel’s highest democratic ideals, shaping landmarks such as the Supreme Court Building, The Open University, the Israel Institute for Democracy, and Ben Gurion University, among many other civic institutions. Ada – My Mother the Architect, directed by Ada’s daughter, Yael Melamede, explores the profound tension between career and motherhood and a unique mother-daughter bond.

Miami Beach, Florida, 33139
Website
Cost:

At the opening of her upcoming solo exhibit “Second Nature” at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden on May 1, Victoria Pesce Elliott will be showing sculpture, collage, paintings and lighting fixtures. All of the objects are made from natural materials found in the tropical environment surrounding her homes in Miami and Jamaica.

The work often includes plant materials like flowers, seeds, leaves and pods. And many are hand-dyed or pigmented with flower or other food products including beans, onions and tea. Her work begs the question: how much effort and artifice does it take to “improve” on nature? To attempt to preserve it?

Sometimes a little shellac can add shine and preserve a rough piece of driftwood. But what does it take to dry a flower, or to retain its natural color? Or perhaps save it from crumbling into dust? She juxtaposes garish silk or plastic flowers with dried and epoxied real ones in an effort to answer these questions. Some works include mirrors placed in odd positions making sure the viewer does not accidentally catch a glimpse of their own reflection.

Many of the sculptural pieces are lit from within in order to replicate the life that once existed inside.

This is part of her ongoing investigation of the nuanced boundaries between permanence and impermanence.

The results range from silly to ghoulish all the way to magical.

Free to attend, please RSVP.
This exhibition will be on display through June 13, 2025.

Visitors will then enjoy reading the beloved book “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds. Finally, we will create our own dot-inspired artwork on canvas boards, expressing our creativity through abstract or representational designs inspired by the magic of the moon and the ocean.

Free with RSVP. Space is limited and open to the first 50 reserved guests. Pre-registration is required.

An upbeat, witty, and timely exploration of a global community of artists creating innovative work in their quest to rediscover and revitalise the endangered Yiddish language. From behind-the-scenes with an acclaimed Yiddish-language version of Yentl in Melbourne, to enjoyably transgressive punk-Klezmer musicians, and Barrie Kosky’s latest trailblazing production in Berlin – the endangered Yiddish language is alive and well in this rousing documentary.

The language originated amongst the Jewish community in Eastern Europe, but almost disappeared when more than half of the world’s Yiddish speakers were murdered during the Holocaust. Most of the artists and performers (aka Yiddishists) in the film didn’t grow up speaking Yiddish, but all have found solace, identity, and inspiration in its rich traditions and culture. Ros Horin has mapped a fascinating cultural history.

Cost: Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students

History Fort Lauderdale, in celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, will present “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” from Thursday, May 1 – Sunday, June 29. The exhibition will showcase rarely seen historical photographs from the museum’s collection alongside contemporary works by artists Christina Lihan and Abby Laughlin. A free public opening reception with the artists will take place on Thursday, May 1, from 6 – 8 p.m., at the New River Inn Museum of History building on History Fort Lauderdale’s campus (231 Southwest Second Avenue).

Florida-based artist Christina Lihan transforms delicate paper into intricate sculptural landscapes, hand-cutting, folding, scoring and carving architectural forms that play with light and shadow. With a background in architecture from the University of Virginia and Columbia University, her work reflects a deep understanding of composition, technique, and design. Her meditative, labor-intensive process creates immersive environments that evoke a sense of place, often raising subtle questions of environmental justice. Her pieces have been exhibited internationally, from Shanghai to Tel Aviv, and she was recently commissioned to create eight large-scale sculptures for a new hotel in central London.

Fort Lauderdale artist and activist Abby Laughlin documents the beauty and history of mid-century modern architecture through photography and curated exhibitions. A former real estate professional with expertise in adaptive rehab, she brings a passionate, hands-on perspective to the importance of historic properties in shaping community identity. Laughlin serves on the boards of the Fort Lauderdale History Center and Docomomo US Florida, and is currently developing three major projects, including a fine arts book and a photography exhibit on mid-century landmarks. Her work captures both the nostalgia and urgency of preserving South Florida’s architectural heritage.

History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, hosts a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.”

History Fort Lauderdale’s “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund. Additional funding is provided, in part, by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale.

Beginning May 1, History Fort Lauderdale will be open five days a week from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. with docent guided tours, daily, at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. (closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Group walking tours are available upon special request. Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID). Admission is free for members, military and children ages six and under. Tickets are available online at HistoryFortLauderdaleTickets.

Talk Highlights Mental Health, Autism Awareness, and Veteran Support

Miami, FL — Ultimate Brain Health is proud to announce it will open its Miami location on Wednesday, April 16th, with a special presentation by Dr. Kevin T. Murphy, the pioneering physician behind the groundbreaking, scientifically proven PrTMS ® brain treatment.

PrTMS (Personalized repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive, drug-free therapy that uses MRI technology and brainwave data to personalize treatment and restore neurological balance. Attending virtually, Dr. Murphy will demonstrate how this tailored approach improves focus, memory, sleep, and emotional regulation in both children and adults—and how it has helped veterans, professional athletes, and even his autistic son.

“Many conventional treatments only manage symptoms,” says Dr. Murphy. “PrTMS® focuses on correcting the brainwave disruptions at the root of those symptoms.”

Timed to align with Autism Acceptance Month (April) and Mental Health Awareness Month (May), the presentation aims to spotlight a new era of mental wellness, particularly for those struggling with conditions such as anxiety, depression, brain fog, PTSD, migraines, OCD, and autism.

Location: One Biscayne Tower-2 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33131- 32nd Floor – Suite 103
Date: April 16, 2025

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 36 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). Approximately 44% of the ASC population respond to PrTMS treatment.

Patients and parents of patients are available via Zoom for interviews associated with Autism awareness. Please call to arrange: 786-745-8152

With its innovative, customized approach, PrTMS® offers new hope, especially for those who have not found success with traditional therapies. Veterans and active-duty military covered by Tricare are especially encouraged to attend.

Attendees may take advantage of a complimentary EEG that day and find out what’s going on inside their mind in real time. Join us for this transformative afternoon and discover how improving your brain health can change everything.

The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, presents its in-person Closing Night Film – Four Mothers (Ireland/United Kingdom, 2024), a comedy about a shy, commitment-phobic gay novelist living with his elderly mother. The film screens at 6 p.m. on April 27 at Savor Cinema (503 SE 6th St. in Fort Lauderdale).

Four Mothers follows Edward, a burgeoning novelist whose debut young adult novel about queer romance gains unexpected popularity in the U.S. While preparing for a promotional book tour, Edward is also the primary caregiver for his 81-year-old mother, Alma, who is wheelchair-bound following a stroke. When his friends decide to attend a Pride event, they leave their own mothers in Edward’s care, resulting in a weekend filled with challenges as he manages four strong-willed, elderly women. The film explores themes of familial duty, personal ambition, and the complexities of caregiving. It vacillates between all too familiar moments of sadness as well as uproarious laughter.

RSVP / Register
Cost: Free

Join MOAD and Gonzalo Hernandez at MDC’s Padrón Campus for a reception celebrating Hernandez’s artist residency.

Throughout the summer, Hernandez will create new work at MDC’s Padrón Campus art gallery. Hernandez’ practice reveals personal narratives, institutional tensions, and broader ideas about belonging and place.

MOAD is proud to offer artists resources, support, and space to create in Miami. This artist residency invites the public to step into the studio and observe and interact with the artist at work, promoting conversations about process, multidisciplinary artmaking, and the role of the artist within learning institutions.

Refreshments will be served.

Free parking is available at MDC’s Padrón Campus flat parking lot located at 2501 SW 6TH Street, Miami, FL 33135.

In the artist’s own words:

Pulling from autobiographical sources, my installations, sculpture, painting, photography, and film are very specific to my perspective as an immigrant while also addressing broader cultural concerns. As I seek to blur the line between art and life, every subject and material can be included in my work, no matter how quotidian. From the mounds of cardboard found on the factory floors of past employment which become relief sculptures, or the shopping lists quickly scribbled onto my hand that I photograph and reuse in my practice, I find truth and meaning in the overlooked. Daily encounters with text, language, and material become fodder for symbolic interpretations.

Dance NOW! culminates its 25th Anniversary Season with Program III featuring the world premiere of Terra Mia I My Land for both Broward and Miami audiences in a two-night run.

Terra Mia I My Land showcases Italian heritage and history, filtered through the personal memories of company Director Diego Salterini. The ballet will highlight the dichotomy and intensity of the country, from the fashion of Milan to the bustle of the streets of Naples to the emerald shores of Sicily. “Italy is so much more than many people imagine,” added Salterini. The piece includes an original score by Federico Bonacossa, also an Italian native and long-time collaborator with Dance NOW! on pieces such as “Anusim, what is hidden is never lost.

The evening will also include several celebrated works from Dance Now’s repertory, among them the powerful and relevant finale from Bridges NOT Walls, their critically acclaimed work about immigration, borders and refugees, as well as Co-Director Baumgarten’s Machiavellian tribal Court Dance, and other works.
“At no time has it been easy to sustain a contemporary dance company like ours, and especially today, with the challenges to funding and content, it’s even more amazing to me that Dance NOW! Miami is thriving at twenty-five years old,” said Baumgarten. “For us, art is a necessity, and we will never stop dancing!”

About the Composers:

Florence Beatrice Price (1887-1953) was an American composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher from Little Rock, Arkansas. Educated at the New England Conservatory, she was active in Chicago from 1927 until her death. Price was the first African-American woman recognized as a symphonic composer and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. She composed over 300 works, including four symphonies and concertos. Her mentor, George Whitefield Chadwick encouraged her to experiment with African American folk inspirations in her work. Price’s music reflects her Southern roots and incorporates elements of African-American spirituals, emphasizing rhythm and syncopation.

George Whitefield Chadwick (1854-1931) was an influential American composer of the Second New England School. His works, influenced by the Realist movement, include operas, three symphonies, five string quartets, tone poems, incidental music, songs, and choral anthems. As part of the Boston Six, he helped create a significant body of concert music in the U.S.

MOAD Artist Residency Featuring Gonzalo Hernandez 6/10/25

Website
Cost: Free

MOAD will host Miami-based artist Gonzalo Hernandez for an artist residency at Miami Dade College’s Padrón Campus. Throughout the summer term, Hernandez will create new work and engage with students and other campus groups. Hernandez’s practice reveals personal narratives, institutional tensions, and broader ideas about belonging and place.

MOAD is proud to offer artists resources, support, and space to create in Miami. This artist residency will also invite the public to step into the studio and observe and interact with the artist at work, promoting conversations about process, multidisciplinary artmaking, and the role of the artist within learning institutions.

Gonzalo Hernandez’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia; SCAD Museum of Art Savannah, Georgia; Laundromat Art Space, Locust Projects, and Mindy Solomon Gallery, Miami; LVL3, Chicago; and in Buenos Aires, Lima, and Santo Domingo, among other cities. The artist is represented by Vigil Gonzales and Kates-Ferri Projects.

In the artist’s own words:

Pulling from autobiographical sources, my installations, sculpture, painting, photography, and film are very specific to my perspective as an immigrant while also addressing broader cultural concerns. As I seek to blur the line between art and life, every subject and material can be included in my work, no matter how quotidian. From the mounds of cardboard found on the factory floors of past employment which become relief sculptures, or the shopping lists quickly scribbled onto my hand that I photograph and reuse in my practice, I find truth and meaning in the overlooked. Daily encounters with text, language, and material become fodder for symbolic interpretations.

MOAD’s programs are made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, and Board of County Commissioners. They are sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD’s programming.

Savor Cinema

The Penguin Lessons is a 2024 comedy-drama film directed by Peter Cattaneo based on the 2015 memoir by Tom Michell, a British teacher who taught at a boys’ boarding school in Argentina in the 1970s. While there, he rescued a penguin which he found soaked with oil on a beach in the Uruguayan resort of Punta del Este. He saved the penguin which then kept following him and so he took it back to the school, where it became a popular pet.

Adapted by Jeff Pope from Tom Michell’s memoir, the film stars Steve Coogan as Michell and Jonathan Pryce as the headmaster of the school. The film was shot in Spain in 2023. It premiered as a gala presentation at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

Following the 2023 sold-out run of Dan Clancy and Lynn Portas’ musical 108 Waverly, also directed by Bruce Linser, POW! is excited to reunite with this incredible creative team for a revival of this riveting drama not seen in South Florida for 12 years.  Regarding his work, Dan Clancy has said, “… the play questions the concept of communities – social, religious, racial, or sexual.  They often provide support for their members.  But the walls which contain this support can also prevent the community’s members from seeing other people’s humanity.”This is Bruce Linser’s third collaboration with POW! after directing 108 Waverly and performing in the world premiere of Erin K. Considine’s Family Tree. Bruce states, “While TheTimekeepers is set during the Holocaust, it’s more a story about how we divide ourselves from one another – ‘us vs. them.’ It’s about us, and whether or not we’re able to see beyond our differences, and stand together against hatred and bigotry.  And that message is more important now than it’s ever been.”
The Timekeepers has been seen in over 13 countries and 22 cities across the world, including throughout Israel. 
“The new production of American playwright Dan Clancy’s The Timekeepers , is an essential roller-coaster journey, which manages to strike and shock at nearly every turn.”  The Pink Times (Tel Aviv), December 26, 2002.
“[The Timekeepers] is subtle. But then, that is the beauty of this play – the horror of the situation somehow lies beneath the day to day minutiae with which the characters content themselves.” The Stage (London), September 7, 2005.
“By presenting a view of three very different victims of the Nazis, and not the Nazis themselves, playwright Dan Clancy’s play is powerfully effective, leaving an enormous impression that requires days to digest.” The Sunday Independent (South Africa), July 18, 2010.
[The Timekeepers] “it’s one of the best dramas seen in the region this year with no asterisks or qualifiers.” “… [Clancy] has crafted a strong script rife with irony. He ingeniously posits a world where time is a precious, fragile and tenuous commodity, yet a place where time has seemingly come to a halt out from fear what the next tick of the clock might bring.”Florida Theater on Stage (Fort Lauderdale), October 27, 2013.
The production brings many fresh faces to POW!’s Foundry Theater.  The cast, John Brodsky, Christopher Daftsios, Seth Trucks and stage manager Katelyn Bourke are all making their debuts at The Foundry.  With the exception of costume designer, Tim Bowman, who is fresh off of POW! in the Park’s A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, the balance of the design and production team are all new to POW!. We welcome Cindi Blank Taylor (Scenic Design), John Shamburger (Scenic Painter), Jameelah Bailey (Props/Set Dressing), Kirk Bookman (Lighting Design), Roger Arnold (Sound Design) Kathryn Johnston (Dialect/Intimacy) and Ted de Chatelet (Fight Director) to The Foundry.
The twenty performances of The Timekeepers run Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 pm and Sunday at 3 pm, at The Foundry, 2306 N Dixie Hwy in Wilton Manors from March 27 through April 27, 2025.  The approximate running time is 1 hour 40 minutes.

Apollo new is a dance-theater work exploring intergenerational queer dynamics, memory, HIV/AIDS, and legacy. This biomythography uses dance-theater to delve into the intersection of personal history, cultural memory, and mythology.

Inspiration stems from the ancient Greek myths of Apollo (god of music, prophecy, healing); Balanchine’s 1928 Apollo ballet; the god-like power of a DJ in a nightclub; and queer representations (healthy and otherwise) of strength and beauty. Whereas Balanchine’s ballet staged a visit between a youthful Apollo and three ageless Muses, our dance-theater work unites a younger queer dancer with three queer elders: each of them former, different iterations of Apollo. They meet, compete, and confront the tension of generations fighting to understand each other, and be understood themselves.

This project is co-presented with FUNDarte as part of theOut (Loud) in the Tropics, and in partnership with Miami-Dade County Auditorium‘s Away From Home series.

Direct from Las Vegas, leggy drag legend EDIE brings her sizzling new show “Queen of the Desert,” featuring tales of living in the hottest place on earth, to Aquaplex Fort Lauderdale at 8 p.m. on April 22! With her high-kicking, feverish choreography and steamy storytelling through song and dance, EDIE turns up the heat with this red-hot new show. Part tribute to the 30th Anniversary of the queer cult classic film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, EDIE will take audiences on a scorching journey out west to the barren badlands she now calls home.

During her 13-year run, EDIE performed 5,600 shows for over six million people. EDIE began her professional dance career at the age of 17 with Ballet Oregon. For the next 11 years, she performed with the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Ballet Chicago, and Pennsylvania Ballet before moving to New York to pursue musical theater. EDIE quickly became a fixture in New York City where she racked up a bevy of awards including Best Drag Queen (HX Award), Best Dance Artist and Entertainer of the Year (Glammy Award). She starred in her autobiographical, off-Broadway show LEGS!, performed on the MTV Video Music Awards, appeared on Sex and the City and was featured at Wigstock and Broadway Bares. She made her Broadway debut alongside Cyndi Lauper and Alan Cumming in the Tony-nominated revival of The Threepenny Opera at Studio 54.

The San Francisco Chronicle “strongly advises seeing the incredible EDIE whose talent and legs go on forever. Seriously, this gorgeous triple threat’s singing and dancing are spectacular.”

Aquaplex Fort Lauderdale (formerly Lips Fort Lauderdale) is going strong following recent exciting updates. The show palace interior features a modern Key West casual environment with an ocean-inspired epoxy floor, an expanded stage and a state-of-the-art LED Jumbotron wall.

In a not-so-distant future, where resources are scarce and tightly controlled, even the dream of having a child is not a given.

A baby is no longer a decision—it’s a privilege. Couples who want to be parents must pass a shadowy and mysterious test to prove they’re worthy. Children, in this world, are a double-edged sword – a heavy responsibility, but also a rare luxury that only the most ‘deserving’ can experience.

Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and Aaryan (Himesh Patel) are one of the few couples allowed to take the test, having successfully navigated a brutal selection process. Now, as they brace for the assessment that will decide their future, “lucky” is the last thing they feel. Desperate to prove themselves eligible, they face their evaluator, Virginia (Alicia Vikander)—cold, unpredictable, and impossible to read.

For seven grueling days, she subjects them to a surreal sequence of challenges that will push them to the brink, making them question not only themselves, but the basis of the test itself. Virginia’s trials dig far deeper than just the physical, pushing Mia and Aaryan to face their deepest insecurities, shaking the foundations of their relationship, and what being parents really means to them. As the days drag on, their once unbreakable bond begins to crack under pressure. Eventually, they stumble upon the disturbing truth about Virginia’s personal motivations and begin to question the very principle of the assessment – and whether its origins are born of something much darker.

Follow Little Foot and her protective herd in Elephants: Giants of the Desert, a larger-than-life 3D documentary film about a rare group of elephants in the Namib Desert, now playing at the AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Created by the filmmakers of popular giant screen titles Sea Lions: Life by A Whisker and Serengeti: Journey to the Heart of Africa, Elephants: Giants of the Desert brings the inspiring story of a resilient elephant family surviving against the odds in one of the harshest environments on Earth – Africa’s Namib Desert – to the giant screen for the very first time.

Filmed on location in the Namib, one of the oldest and largest deserts, the film provides unprecedented access to one of only two populations of desert elephants in the world, totaling close to 150 individuals compared to a historic population of 2,500-3,500 in the 18th century. Despite having significant needs for water, these elephants have somehow learned to thrive in this land of extremes. With a slow reproduction cycle of 3+ years and a high mortality rate due partly to the desert conditions, every calf becomes more than precious, and the desert elephants themselves seem to know it well, too.

The film’s story is driven by Little Foot, a newborn calf, as she survives her perilous and most vulnerable first year despite the odds, helped by a fierce extended family of elephants. Audiences will follow Little Foot on an epic and at times whimsical journey, getting up close and personal with the largest land mammals on the planet as they care for the smallest member of the herd. Together the matriarchal herd of aunts and sisters will brave the desert’s elements and use some elephant superpowers, from finding underground aquifers to foreseeing sandstorms. Through the eyes of these elephants, audiences will also see the hidden side of an otherworldly and formidable landscape, where a cast of iconic animals including giraffes, monkeys and lions form a unique canvas of life.

To capture the adventures of Little Foot on screen, the filmmaking crew including Paul Phelan, Tamatea Kohu and Cam Batten lived another kind of adventure behind the camera, lugging intricate production gear into the remote desert, and battling the elements despite being out of their natural habitat. Earning the trust of the elephants, especially around their little one, took patience and respect, for which the filmmakers were rewarded with a close look into the lives of these enigmatic yet endangered creatures.

Elephants: Giants of the Desert is a family friendly movie filmed for Giant Screen and IMAX® theaters in native 3D, where state-of-the-art image and sound will immerse audiences in the unbelievable world of the elephants and their true story of family and survival.

Elephants: Giants of the Desert is produced by Definition Studios and distributed by K2 Studios.

The AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science is located at 401 SW 2nd Street in Fort Lauderdale. The film Elephants: Giants of the Desert is included in the MODS Discovery Pass, an all-in-one ticket that includes Museum exhibitions, live science demonstrations and one IMAX® documentary film.

Cost: $75 + service fee

On Swift Horses (USA, 2025) will open the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition on Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m., at Regal Cinemas South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach).

Life pushes some to seek security, others to surrender to chance. Daniel Minahan’s adaptation of Shannon Pufahl’s novel explores both paths with empathy, capturing the tension between stability and risk. In 1950s San Diego, newlyweds Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Lee (Will Poulter) settle into domestic life, while Lee’s brother, Julius (Jacob Elordi), drifts to Las Vegas, drawn to poker and a connection with Henry (Diego Calva). As Muriel secretly gambles and Julius embraces his own transgressions, their lives mirror each other in unexpected ways. On Swift Horses finds rapturous beauty in the décor and accoutrements of the era. Yet what lingers most is the power of its characters’ yearnings, whether secret or boldly declared. This is a story about risking everything for love, only to gain self-knowledge along the way. On Swift Horses is a beautifully crafted tale of longing, danger, and self-discovery.

An afterparty at The Rum Room will take place after the screening.

Internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition will run through May 4! This season’s OUTshine line-up hits Miami-Dade and Broward counties with thought-provoking, inspiring, entertaining and educational star-studded features, documentaries and shorts including premieres from 20 countries.

Eventbrite
Cost: Free

Join us at The CAMP Gallery and on Instagram (@thecampgallery) this Saturday, April 5, from 2–4 PM for the closing of our March Exhibitions Asking for a Friend and Between Stillness & Growth, featuring an Artist Talk at 3 PM with exhibiting artist Silvana Soriano.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (b. 1961), Silvana Soriano is a visual artist currently based in Miami, Florida. Soriano has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Brazil, Spain, France, USA and Cuba since 1984, including having her work featured at Pinta Miami Art Fair. She has also illustrated several books, spanning from children’s literature to poetry. Soriano graduated with a BFA in Art History and Art Education from Bennett University. She furthered her studies at the esteemed School of Visual Arts, in Brazil. Soriano has been an educator for over two decades, at public schools, non-profits, and universities.

Silvana Soriano’s works in Asking for a Friend draws deep inspiration from the writings of Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, whose exploration of women’s inner lives and existential struggles resonates throughout Soriano’s art. The four large collages on canvas and three smaller drypoint and china ink works reflect themes of intimacy, autonomy, and vulnerability, central to Lispector’s literary universe. Using a layered, textural approach, Soriano brings these literary figures to life, weaving together elements of their narratives into striking visual compositions.

Just as Lispector’s characters grapple with self-discovery and emotional depth, Soriano’s pieces delve into the personal, often hidden, experiences of women navigating their identities. Together, these works create a visual dialogue about resilience, community, and the shared human experience of seeking guidance, echoing the themes of emotional complexity and reflection found in the exhibition.

Cost: Prices for individual films start at $15 each with group discounts, memberships and additional offers available

The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival spring edition returns April 17 – May 4! Internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, this season’s OUTshine line-up hits Miami-Dade and Broward counties with thought-provoking, inspiring, entertaining and educational star-studded features, documentaries and shorts including premieres from 20 countries.

On Swift Horses (USA, 2025) will open the spring festival on Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m., at Regal Cinemas South Beach (1120 Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach). Set in the 1950s, this adaptation of Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel follows a seemingly sensible newlywed Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her wayward brother-in-law (Jacob Elordi) as they undertake parallel journeys of risk, romance, and self-discovery. Directed by Daniel Minahan, the film also stars Will Poulter and Diego Calva. An afterparty at The Rum Room will take place after the screening.

The following evening honors Latin filmmaking with the Noche Latina East Coast premiere of Fine Young Men (Hombres Integros) (Mexico, 2024) at 7:15 p.m. at Regal Cinemas South Beach. Directed by Alejandro Andrade Pease, this coming-of-age drama about identity follows Alf, a student at a strict Catholic school, who finds himself drawn to Oliver, a charismatic new classmate. An afterparty at Twisted Tonic Rooftop will follow.

This edition, OUTshine has expanded its Men’s and Ladies Spotlight Films to both counties. On April 19, the Ladies Spotlight Sisters (Canada, 2024), a heartfelt tale of love, identity, and belonging, and the Men’s Spotlight North American premiere of Streets of Gloria (Ruas da Gloria) (Brazil, 2024), a bold, sultry exploration of love and desire, will screen beginning at 7 p.m. at Regal Cinemas South Beach. The afterparties will follow at The Greystone Hotel. On April 26, Hot Milk (United Kingdom, 2025), an emotional family drama set amidst picturesque Almería, Spain, will screen for the ladies and Midas Man (UK, 2024) starring Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Brian Epstein, the visionary who shaped music history by launching The Beatles’ meteoric rise, will screen for the men beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale (1820 E Sunrise Blvd.). Afterparties will take place at The Well and LIT.

On April 23, OUTshine presents its South Florida Shorts Showcase with a special Cocktails & Cinema™ reception at 7 p.m. at O Cinema South Beach (1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). Celebrate queer South Florida filmmakers, actors and film crews – from students to seasoned veterans of the industry. A Q&A plus a Tito’s Vodka open-bar afterparty will follow.

Accidental Friends (Amici Per Caso) (Italy, 2024), an international premiere and this season’s Centerpiece Film, screens at 7:30 p.m. on April 24 at Regal Dania Pointe (128 Sunset Dr, Dania Beach). In this Odd Couple-style comedy, directed by Max Nardari, two roommates with contrasting lifestyles must cohabitate despite their differences. An afterparty will follow at Bowlero.

Capitalizing on that sentiment, OUTshine is proud to present the world premiere of the documentary Latter-Day Glory: The Aftermath of Growing Up Queer in the LDS Church (USA, 2025). Directors Brandon Deyette and Chucho E. Quintero follow two queer ex-Mormon missionaries embarking on a transformative journey across America, uncovering the devastating effects of religious dogma on LGBTQ+ members of the LDS Church.

This season’s North American premieres include the dramatic thriller Queerpanorama (USA/Hong Kong/China, 2025), Becoming Ana (La Mitad de Ana) (Spain, 2024), To Live, To Die, To Live Again (Vivre Mourir Renaitre) (France, 2024), Blue For A Boy (Azul de Nino) (Spain, 2024), Some Nights I Feel Like Walking (Mõnel õhtul tahaksin jalutada) (Philippines/Italy/Singapore, 2025) and All For One (France/Belgium, 2025).

Other premieres include the first U.S showings of Who Wants To Marry An Astronaut? (Argentina, 2024) and A Night Like This (UK, 2025).

The April 27 closing night film will be Four Mothers (Ireland/United Kingdom, 2024) at Savor Cinema (503 SE 6th St., Fort Lauderdale). Directed by Darren Thorton, this comedy centers on a shy, commitment-phobic gay novelist who is tasked with caring for four eccentric, combative and wildly different women. The awards night soiree will immediately follow.

OUTshine At-Home viewing will be available from April 28 – May 4.
