PUBLISHER'S CORNER LET’S CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF OUTSHINE FILMS IN FORT LAUDERDALE Cinema tells the story of the human experience from many different perspectives. One of these perspectives is that of LGBTQ people from around the world and all walks of life. As a proud annual sponsor of the OUTshine Film Festival, Wire Magazine invites to come out and watch some great films during this year's 10th anniversary of the OUTshine Film Festival Fort Lauderdale edition. The Festival will take place October 18-28, and this year it has added one more day to its roster, so it will be bigger than ever before. OUTshine Fort Lauderdale will showcase over 50 films, including 34 feature-length films and 17 shorts, plus a week of fun parties with plenty of delectable bites and refreshing libations for all attendees. This year's celebrity-filled opening night will feature the film Studio 54 by Matt Trynauer. After the film, we will head off to a gorgeous, private waterfront residence in downtown Fort Lauderdale for the opening night party. In this week's special issue, we bring you a preview of the 2018 Festival, an interview of actor Garrett Clayton from the film Reach by Leif Rokesh, and 21 Spotlight Film selections so you can preview some of the wonderful films to be shown in Fort Lauderdale. You can purchase tickets to the opening night party and film, or view a full schedule of films, parties, and special events by visiting outshinefilm.com. This week's Destinations column explores the beauty and serenity of Vancouver, British Columbia, on Canada's West Coast. This beautiful city, nestled between mountains and the sea, possesses among the most temperate weather, greenest environments, and the largest population of people of Asian descent, plus Canada's largest number of American citizens. It is a great place to take a vacation while enjoying nature and delicious dining. In Top Trax, DJ FR8-O reminds us that the hypnotic beat of disco and ABBA never lose their allure, with two new albums by Cher and Chic that were made to make us hustle, Dancing Queen and It's About Time. In Flix, Wire Magazine film critic Alyn Darnay reviews Life Itself, an adult drama that is different and will challenge you as a viewer, in part because the film assembled a superb ensemble cast to tell a twisting, turning, and emotional story. Because life itself is not always what you think, we bring you a full page of photos that I took during this year's Turnabout annual celebration at TWIST. I challenge you to peruse through the photos and guess "who's that lady?" The TWIST "ladies" performed in their best ensembles by turning about their lives for one night, so I wonder if you can guess who's who in the photos.
