DAVID, 10min,. Canada
Directed by Matthew Forbes
Based on a true story, "David" follows the life of an openly gay HIV/AIDS activist at the peak of that nightmare pandemic, dividing his time between fighting for justice in an openly homophobic society and helping a total stranger as the virus takes his life away. Tight, compact and full of passion, "David" shows a contrast of terrible, deadly hatred and the incredible compassion that can blossom despite the hatred, if we let it.

RED RIBBONS OF LOVE, 15min., USA
Directed by Pauley Perrette
Red Ribbons of Love, a film by Pauley Perrette, documents the 30-year history of the red AIDS ribbons on the tower of Hollywood United Methodist Church, located two blocks from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1993, when salons, barbershops, schools, and churches were closing their doors to the LGBT community for fear of "catching" AIDS, this church not only welcomed the community into the church but affixed two large red ribbons of love to the sides of its tower to proclaim that all are welcome.
