Early summer in the South Sound means changing warmer weather, adding a boa and checking out the pride festivals. In conjunction with Olympia Capital City Pride event - June 19-22 - the Olympia Film Society presents the 2014 Pride Film Festival. According to pre-film festival hype, "We hope to entertain, educate and give audiences a window into worlds they rarely see reflected in cinema, while also providing a venue for independent filmmakers to document and explore diverse relationship orientations." In other words, get ready for three nights of fabulously entertaining movies, short films and a closing night performance by the awe-inspiring Flirticia Fondue. Films include To Be Takei, which explores the life of George Takei; Lilting, about connecting despite a language barrier and starring legendary Chinese actress Cheng Pei-pei; Born To Fly, featuring extreme action choreographer Elizabeth Streb and her troupe live to explore new ways bodies can move in space; Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same; My Prairie Home, an intimate portrait of transgender folk singer/songwriter Rae Spoon; and many more.

2014 PRIDE FILM FESTIVAL, June 27-29, Capitol Theater, 206 Fifth Ave. SE, Olympia, $6,50-$9.50, 360.754.6670
