The Second Annual Gay & Lesbian Film Series starts this week at Village 8 Theaters in Louisville.

Remember to RSVP for the Kickoff Gala - admission is free! We hope you join us and producing sponsor G3 at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center on Thursday!

This week's movie features running June 5-11 are "Ciao" and "Tru Loved."

“Superb. A no-frills movie with a wonderful script” is what Out in Hollywood is saying about “Ciao.”  Directed by Yen Tan, “Ciao” tells the story of a man that dies unexpectedly and leaves behind two men: Jeff, his best friend and Andrea, an Italian he has been corresponding with online. Jeff informs Andrea of Mark’s passing; Andrea writes back to express his shock and sympathies. On a whim, they continue their correspondence and what began as a tragedy that linked two strangers becomes a deeply realized friendship.

Stewart Wade’s “Tru Loved” is "An entertaining tolerance lesson targeted at teens,” according to Variety.  In this award winning film, sixteen-year-old Tru is uprooted by her lesbian moms from her comfortable gay-friendly and moved to a conservative community. Tru’s only friend is a closeted football player, and even that friendship is jeopardized when she starts the school’s first Gay-Straight Alliance Club.

Get your tickets from Village 8 and check out all the films scheduled for this month’s film series on the Village 8 website.

KFA is proud to partner with Village 8 and the Letter newspaper to bring these films to Kentucky.
