The City of West Hollywood, as part of its One City One Pride LGBTQ Arts Festival, will present a screening of the 45-minute documentary STATUS. The film features frank conversations about the journeys and choices that come with the knowledge of one’s HIV status.

The screening will take place on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. at the City of West Hollywood’s City Council Chambers/Public Meeting Room (located next to Jones Coffee) at West Hollywood Library, 625 N. San Vicente Boulevard. Validated parking will be available at the West Hollywood Park five-story public parking structure. Admission is free. A reception will follow the screening at HERE Lounge, located at 696 N. Robertson Boulevard.

STATUS was produced in tandem with the My Status is Not a Secret campaign, which was launched in April 2014 to humanize the HIV experience. The campaign, which is part engagement platform and part interview series, was created by the visual agency Column Five, which co-produced the filmed interviews and documentary with the creative collective The Advisorie Group.
