MGLFF is delighted to present, for the second consecutive year, the Fourth Annual PlanetOut.com Short Movie Awards, presented by Avis Rent-a-Car and hosted in collaboration with PlanetOut.com. All shorts under 20 minutes in length, and in English or with no substantial dialogue were eligible to compete for awards in 5 categories, with one film judged from all short listed entries as the Grand Prize Winner. Music, jumping rabbits, the Koran, questions of identity, tips on self-pleasure and kidnapped secret agents all have a key role to play in this marvelous line-up which will be exhibited on the PlanetOut.com website later in the year. Director's Rodrigo Bellot, Dan Bree, Paula J. Durette, Robert Alan Rackham, Angela Robinson and J.T. Tepnapa will attend the screening to accept their awards.
