CMG Gay Short Film Festival at WeHo City Council Chambers

Acceptance — a young man and his mother reveal difficult truths; then a woman accepts her shortcomings by engaging her own gay sidekick; in the acclaimed web series “The Horizon,” two main characters finally go for their HIV test; then two amorous rabbits have to accept that some of the sexual frisson has gone from their relationship; a man has to sit and watch as a woman hijacks his intended conquest; a hair stylist thinks about — but never voices — his feelings for a customer; and the famous AA serenity prayer is given yet another test.  “A Last Farewell” presents the most painful aspect of acceptance; and in the end, all will be well as long as we remember to accept others in one big, happy family. Tickets are $10 for each set of screenings and $35 for all four. They can be purchased online beginning Aug. 22 at https://cmgfilmfest2014.webconnex.com/cmgfilmfestival. All proceeds will be donated to AIDSWalk LA.
