Kicking off the ImageOut Film Festival is Liz en Septiembre (Liz in September, Fina Torres, Venezuela 2014, 100 min.) at the Little Theatre.

The gorgeous beaches of the Caribbean serve as the backdrop to Liz in September, a touching film based on the classic play Last Summer at Bluefish Cove by Jane Chambers. Director Fina Torres updates the original 1980 work, giving it a more streamlined, modern feel for today's audiences. Out lesbian actress/supermodel Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, The L Word) stars as Liz, a hard-partying, love-'em-and-leave-'em lesbian who celebrates her birthday each year with her friends in the Caribbean. But this year is different. Liz is terminally ill, a fact she hides from all but one of her friends. This will most likely be her last retreat with them and she wants to make the most of it.
