There was a moment when I knew I’d have to tell my parents that a video I’d been in went viral. Not only was I in it, but also I had interviewed the star of the YouTube hit, Maria, the “Butthole Tattoo Girl.” A friend sent a text that the video had been featured as a “New Rule” on Real Time With Bill Maher, a show my mom and dad watch regularly.

Thursday The nude has been a subject of fine art for centuries. Its current significance might seem limited to learning tools and antiquated still lifes, but Nude Nite is breathing new life into nakedness by filling 25,000 square feet of warehouse space with contemporary takes on the unclothed human form…
Miami is in for a treat when Nude Nite hits town November 9 through 11 in Wynwood.

One year, back in the early 1990s, an uncle of mine didn’t show up to our family Christmas. I was only 10 and didn’t understand his sudden departure and why nobody would speak of it. A year later, I was at his funeral. He was a playwright and actor in…

Among the most savage and surreal of Italian comedies, starring one of the country’s biggest stars and directed by one of its legendary filmmakers, Vittorio De Sica’s Il Boom barely made a ripple when first released, in 1963. It sank so deeply that it’s only now getting a proper release…
Wonderstruck is a film about children. It’s a film about being different in a world that doesn’t quite understand you. It’s about silent cinema and ’70s cinema. It’s about deafness and how it changes your world. All in all, it’s a pretty queer film.
Much of the thrill of big-ticket theater comes from the simple truth of presence: You in the audience are watching the best in the world do what they do right there in front of you, in real time. In an intimate moment, you can sense or even share their metabolism,…
My Friend Dahmer, from a graphic memoir of the same name by the pseudonymous Derf Backderf, is a kind of coming-of-age tale that dissects a troubled kid’s descent into murder. Backderf was a high-school pal of the boy who would grow up to become the serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey…

For now, though, we can enjoy the temperate outdoors at the Miami Short Film Festival in SoundScape Park; Lights, Camera, 305 at Gibson Park; Light Up Lauderdale at Esplanade Park; and Danay Suarez at Hialeah Park. Yup, Miamians are headed outside in droves. Let’s enjoy it while we can.
Great friendships can nurture and inspire an artist to make greater work. Think of Pablo Picasso and Wifredo Lam, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Such is also the case for flamenco dancers Francisco Hidalgo and Anabel Moreno, who will perform this weekend at…
You probably went hard over Halloween weekend — maybe too hard. But that’s OK, because in uncharacteristic form, Miami has decided to take a breather and spend the next several days relaxing hard rather than partying hard. You’ll get the chance to fuel up at Wiener Bash at Magic City Casino…
