Outfest has announced the award-winners from this year's film festival.
The Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival unveiled the honorees Sunday at the Directors Guild of America. The festival opened July 9 with Tig, a documentary on comedian Tig Notaro, and closed Sunday with a screening of The New Girlfriend, a gender-bending French drama by Francois Ozon.
Jury prize winners included Nasty Baby (Kristen Wiig),a black comedy about surrogacy directed by Sebastian Silva, as well as Everlasting Love, an international thriller about a student-teacher affair. A Sinner in Mecca, a film by Parvez Sharma about being gay and Muslim, also took home an award for best documentary feature.
The blue-collar coming-out story Fourth Man Out, starring Chord Overstreet and Kate Flannery; a documentary on DJ Marco Collins and '90s grunge music, The Glamour and the Squalor; and Those People, a drama about same-sex love on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, were among those honored by Outfest audience members.
