Outfest Legacy Tribute: AIDS at 25
On Friday night at Outfest Honors, presenter Judith Light, who starred in "The Ryan White Story," unveiled a roster of films for the inaugural Legacy Tribute. These films commemorate the first quarter-century of AIDS and seeing clips from each of them was a sober reminder of what the disease has done to not only gays, but to the world. There were a lot of tears inside the theater at the Pacific Design Center as bits of these movies were shown. And with HIV cases among young people actually on the rise, these films are more relevant then ever. Below is the complete list of films:




Angels In America (2003)
And the Band Played On (1993)
Buddies (1985)
Chrissy (1999)
Chocolate Babies (1996)
Common threads, Stories from the Quilt (1989)
An Early Frost (1985)
In the Gloaming (1997)
It's My Party (1995)
Jeffrey (1995)
The Living End (1992)
Longtime Companion (1990)
Parting Glances (1986)
Paul Monette: The Brink of Summer's End (1997)
Philadelphia (1993)
Poison (1991)
The Ryan White Story (1989)
Silver Lake Life: The View From Here (1993)
Tongues Untied (1990)
Zero Patience (1993)
Said Judith Light: "Too many people were allowed to die in silence and some of these films are all we have left."
