From the beginning 22 years ago, Tampa Theatre has been the ground zero to the showing of GLBT films for the Tampa Bays Gay Communities annual fall film festival. This year will be no different. The Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival kicks off this week with Galas, Movies, Parties and a whole lot more Festival Movies. Now the 4th largest gay & lesbian film festival in America. The acclimated boasting comes from years of stewardship, great dedication, community direction and support, all on a volunteer basis. Thank You all for your dedication to making this annual community event happen. Added movie festival showings this year will be at the Baywalk Muvico in St. Petersburg and the new Tampa Museum of Art on the Hillsborough River waterfront.
