Gay love is in the air! Queer filmmaker Andrew Ahn’s semi-remake of Ang Lee’s “The Wedding Banquet” is about to have its Spring theatrical release. Preceding it by a week or so is gay filmmaker Roshan Sethi’s “A Nice Indian Boy” (Levantine Films). Sethi, who wrote and directed the marvelous 2021 pandemic rom-com “7 Days,” has proven himself a filmmaker of merit.

There was an error in our film festivals column in our March 27 issue. Somehow we were sent last year’s line-up of films, perhaps it was a belated April Fool’s joke.

LGBTQ stories are at the forefront of the 41st Miami Film Festival, taking place from April 3-13.

In 2024 alone, there were several including “Let The Canary Sing” (about Cyndi Lauper), “Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All,” “Luther: Never Too Much” (about Luther Vandross), “Elton John: Never Too Late,” and “I Am Celine Dion.”
