Deering Estate in partnership with the MIAMI short FILM FESTIVAL (MIAMIsFF) presents a new series that provides screenings of selected short films. Each screening will be curated around a specific theme and will include a Q&A afterward with William Vela, executive director of the MIAMI short FILM FESTIVAL, and invited guests, including select filmmakers, actors, directors, cinematographers, artists and topical experts.

Come early to the film to meet with local community organizations Equality FL, Pridelines and Culture Shock Miami and receive resources and information from 7pm-8pm. Following the film, meet film director David Charles Rodrigues and Miami Gay Men’s Chorus artistic director Anthony Cabrera as they participate in a panel discussion moderated by filmmaker Robert Rosenberg. Led by Gay Chorus Conductor Dr. Tim Seelig and joined by The Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir; the tour brings a message of music, love and acceptance, to communities and individuals confronting intolerance. Over 300 singers travelled from Mississippi to Tennessee through the Carolinas and over the bridge in Selma. They performed in churches, community centers and concert halls in hopes of uniting us in a time of difference. The journey also challenges Tim and other Chorus members who fled the South to confront their own fears, pain and prejudices on a journey towards reconciliation. The conversations and connections that emerge offer a glimpse of a less divided America, where the things that divide us; faith, politics, sexual identity are set aside by the soaring power of music, humanity and a little drag.
