Don\u2019t miss the highlights of the LGBT film festival in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles’s premier LGBT film festival, Outfest, celebrates its 35th year with a roster of films that’s bigger and more diverse than ever before. The festival kicks off today at downtown L.A.’s famed Orpheum Theatre with a gala that includes a screening of the U.K. film God’s Own Country and a killer after-party right outside the theater. Among the dozens of offerings, there’s something for everyone, including films like the highly anticipated Tom of Finland, the lesbian-themed Becks, and the timely documentary More Than T, which follows the lives of seven transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Outfest offers loads of opportunities for mingling and chatting between films over Finlandia at the Directors Guild of America, plus dozens of other parties throughout the city. See some of our favorites on the following pages, and a full schedule of events at Outfest.org.
