Film lovers rejoice! The 17th annual Reel Pride Gay and Lesbian Film Festival kicks off tomorrow! The festival opens this Wednesday at 7:30 pm with the smart and funny romantic comedy Puccini for Beginners. This non-stop laugh fest was a favorite at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and stars Justin Kirk (Angels in America, Weeds) Elizabeth Reaser (Saved, Law and Order) and the delightful Gretchen Mol (The Notorious Bettie Page). You can get your festival passes (and with over 40 films and shorts, you'll want a pass) online, or at the Tower Theatre box office.

For more festival offerings, check the Calender! You can sort by the "Film" category to see all the world-class movies on offer at this year's festival. This is a nationally recognized festival, and one of Fresno's best events. Don't miss it!

If the banner ads weren't enough of a clue, Fresno Famous and Reel Pride have a co-sponsorship agreement
