OUTshine LGBTQ+ FilmFestival Presents Mouse, its Ladies’ Spotlight Film & Afterparty

The OUTshine
LGBTQ+ Film Festival Fall Edition presents
the heartfelt drama Mouse (United States, 2026), its Ladies’ Spotlight
Film, on Oct. 17., at 7:15 p.m., at Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale.
An afterparty will follow the screening.

It’s the summer of 2002, and high school
senior Minnie has always lived in the shadow of her charismatic best friend,
Callie. When their lifelong friendship unexpectedly unravels, Minnie is forced
to navigate the uncertainty of adolescence on her own. Drawn into an unexpected
relationship with Callie’s elegant mother while forging a connection with a new
queer friend, Minnie begins to discover her own identity beyond the
expectations of others. Featuring standout performances including Sophie
Okonedo and David Hyde Pierce, Mouse is a tender, funny, and beautifully
observed coming-of-age story about friendship, first love, grief, and the
courage to embrace your authentic self.
