This is another bit of information that was shared with us. We are passing it along to those who may be interested. We are not affiliated with them whatsoever.

Drawing  its name from the Bible, specifically Isaiah 40:3-5– the Level Ground film festival, bills itself as “the world’s first faith-based LGBT film festival”. In its second year, the 11 day festival will bring panels, screenings, talks and social events to various small Pasadena venues now through March 1st.

The mission of the festival according to their website is:

Level Ground uses art to create safe space for dialogue about faith, gender, and sexuality. Our hope is to cultivate a better way of speaking with one another across our differences and disagreements. Level Ground is becoming a national innovator in film festival programming, art curation, and dialogue.

Tomorrow – A short film about LGBT and Human rights issue in Russia

Aside Leave a comment

Warmest wishes to you from Russia.

WE a group of filmmakers, who support LGBT community, freedom of a person and tolerance in the world are preparing for next short film production.

Our story is about an ordinary day of a lesbian couple that turned out to change their life forever. A school teacher became a suspect in trumped-up case against her and her child meanwhile her successful girlfriend came too close to an unpleasant truth about the way child adoptive system works.

Unfortunately we are doing a very dangerous job here, so we can’t ask for support In Russia, It can lead us to jail. But we are devoted to our goal to make this movie, to tell this important story to all over the world! So we decided to ask help from all people who care!!!
We would like to ask you to promote our campaign. We have a crowd funding campaign open till March 20 and we hope to raise money for this important issue!


Please support our crowdfunding campaign http://igg.me/at/tomorrow-LGBT and help us to tell the true story from Russia. Each vote will matter, each penny will help. Only together we can make this film happen!
