GayCharlotte Film Festival

When: April 24-27 2014

In its sixth year, this fest offers entertaining selections of LGBT-focused films. The series kicks off with Stranger by the Lake, a 2013 flick known for its steamy romance beach scenes. It’s followed by others like Pit Stop, Hot Guys With Guns (both April 25) and I Am Divine (April 26), to name just a few. Following a screening of Birthday Cake (April 26) — a funny film about two men who are busy planning for their wedding when they learn their adopted daughter will be arriving early — will be a Q&A with the film’s director, Chad Darnell. Other special events include a panel discussion on HIV/AIDS, after a screening of the film, Test (April 27). For a full schedule of films and events, visit www.charlottelgbtfilm.com.
