Out Loud, is a 2011 Lebanese movie, directed by Samer Daboul, and starring Rudy Moarbes, Ali Rhayem, Jad Hadid. with a runtime of 102 minutes.
Out Loud is a pioneering Lebanese drama-musical and the first Lebanese film to explore LGBTQ+ themes — a fact that led to its censorship in its country of origin. Six friends gather at Jason's house outside Beirut to celebrate his birthday: three men (one of whom is gay), and a woman, each carrying the burden of difficult family circumstances. Over the course of a long, intense night of dancing, eating, and honest conversation, they forge a pact of love, friendship, and hope for a freer future. The film daringly combines Bollywood-inspired musical sequences, vibrant choreography, and powerful melodrama with sharp comedic moments — creating a manifesto for liberty and emancipation. A bold, visually striking work featuring a cast of strikingly beautiful actors and a fearless script that challenges Lebanese social taboos.
