Gay-themed film fest runs through Sunday

Advertiser Staff

Among the offerings at the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival is "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin" at 4 p.m. Saturday. It's about the civil rights leader, who struggled against racism and homophobia. The screening is free.
The Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival, formerly known as the Adam Baran Honolulu Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, continues through the weekend at the Doris Duke Theatre at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.

Tonight's movies are "Mango Kiss" (6 p.m.) about two women whose open relationship is tested as they enter realms that are bit ... uh, more "out there"; and "Gay Hollywood" (8 p.m.), about five ambitious gay men who try to succeed in Hollywood.

On Saturday's lineup are Boyz Shorts (2 p.m.), a collection of short films geared toward men; a free screening of a documentary about civil rights leader Bayard Rustin (4 p.m.); and the Gala Night reception/fund-raiser ($25, 6 p.m.) that includes the screening (8 p.m.) of "One Night in Bangkok" and "Eating Out." Ryan Carnes, who stars in "Eating Out," and the local cast and crew of "Bangkok" will be at the reception and will take part in a post-screening Q&A session.

Sunday's offerings include Girlz Shorts (2 p.m.), a collection of short films geared toward the women; two documentaries, "Laughing Matters" and "Where the Girls Are" (4 p.m.); the Spanish film "My Mother Likes Women" (6 p.m.); and the closing-night feature, "A Touch of Pink," starring Kyle MacLachlan (8 p.m.).

Admission to the screenings, except where noted, is $8 general, $6 for members of the Honolulu Gay & Lesbian Cultural Foundation, which sponsors the festival. Go online at www.hglcf.org for the full details.
