Odd Fish (Ljósvíkingar), set in a small fishing village in Iceland’s northern Westfjords, follows childhood friends Björn and Hjalti, who run a popular seafood restaurant. Their close partnership is shaken when Björn comes out as a trans woman, forcing both their friendship and the entire community to confront deeply ingrained beliefs. As Björn embarks on her journey of self-discovery, Hjalti struggles to reconcile his emotions, torn between loyalty and personal biases. Through moments of conflict, growth, and reflection, the film delves into themes of identity, acceptance, and transformation, offering a heartfelt exploration of love, resilience, and the courage to embrace change.
The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival is South Florida’s premier LGBTQ+ cultural arts event, originating from the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (1998) and the Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (2008). These two iconic festivals merged under one dynamic brand, reflecting our vibrant, multicultural audience and international recognition.
As a critically acclaimed platform, OUTshine is more than just a film festival—it’s an immersive experience designed to inspire, entertain, and educate. Their mission is to foster community and celebrate LGBTQ+ stories through diverse films, videos, and media that explore historical and contemporary perspectives.

Out Scuba believes that better trained divers make safer divers and increases the enjoyment of all participants on any dive. We include any training session(s) on our calendar because it is by an Out Scuba instructor member, offered only to Out Scuba members and includes reduced rates or added benefits you would not get if you registered for the training directly. Out Scuba, however, does not offer training, does not benefit financially from registrations, does not certify divers or instructors, does not vet or approve the instructors, and does not recommend any training or agency to you. If you believe this training will be of benefit to you, we encourage you to contact the organizer and satisfy any questions you have before you sign up.
