two extended weekends the Festival will be hosting a
series of drive-in screenings across six-nights on two lots,
including both kick-off and closing events!
Drive-in screenings will launch with a special, drive-in only Los Angeles
premiere of Sundance 2020 title The Nowhere Inn, starring musicians Annie
Clark and Carrie Brownstein in a reality-bending send-up of Clark’s musical
persona St. Vincent, and will also feature Patricia Vidal Delgado’s feature
directorial debut and poignant coming of age story, La Leyenda Negra
about a soon-to-be undocumented teenager fighting for her right to stay in
America.
Country artist Brandon Stansell will perform a live drive-in set prior to a
screening of his documentary Three Chords and a Lie, while the final drive-
in screening will be the world premiere of Outfest’s closing film, Two Eyes,
directed by Travis Fine, and featuring a century-spanning story of queer and
trans people from three time periods in the American West learning to
express their identities and finding community.
The screening will be preceded by a live musical set by cast member Ryan
Cassata, as well as a pre-recorded musical set by cast member Nakhane
out of London. The drive-in screenings are sponsored by Outfest Los
Angeles’s Automotive Sponsor Hyundai.
