The Wedding Banquet Kicks Off Atlanta’s Out On Film Spring Fest
Get a taste of Atlanta’s film festival culture with Out On Film’s Spring mini-fest.
Atlanta’s preeminent, Oscar®-qualifying film festival Out On Film brings five of 2025’s most anticipated queer films and documentaries to Southern audiences with its “Spring Mini-Fest’25,” taking place over three consecutive evenings (March 17-19) at the historic Landmark’s Midtown Arts Cinema. Tickets for all films are on sale now at outonfilm.org.
Spring Mini-Fest kicks off Monday, March 17, at 7 p.m. ET with the joyful comedy-of-errors film The Wedding Banquet, starring Bowen Yang (“SNL,” “Wicked”) and Golden Globe Award winner Lily Gladstone (“Killers of the Flower Moon”).
Tuesday, March 18: two documentaries: Sally, a rich portrait of the first woman in space and her 27-year secret romance, and Speaking Out, featuring three men’s gripping stories of sexual trauma and recovery. WABE’s “Closer Look” host Rose Scott will conduct a Q&A with director John Solis and subject Rigardo Antonio Rush.
Wednesday, March 19: An Unexpected Community is a star-studded look at the popular pandemic-era female/queer Zoom group “Women On The Net” followed by a Q&A with director Andrea Meyerson and producer Kathryn L Beranich, moderated by Out On Film Programming Coordinator Sydney-Elise Williams.
Then is the sweeping post-WWII romantic drama On Swift Horses, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (“Twisters,” “Normal People”), Jacob Elordi (“Saltburn,” “Euphoria”) and Will Poulter (“The Bear”).
The main Out On Film festival celebrates its 38th year this September. USA Today last week named Out On Film as one of the 10 Best Film Festivals in the U.S., for the 3rd year in a row.
