OutFilm
Love and identity are many-splendored things in the offerings of the 9th annual Eros Film Festival, presented this week by Out Film Connecticut and the student LGBT group at Trinity College.

Who's afraid of Tchaikovsky?
Call me Ebenezer Scrooge, but I'm not overly fond of most holiday traditions, especially the ones that infest our performance spaces in December. One stage production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol is more than enough for me, let alone the half dozen that spring up annually like persistent fungus. I'm even - gasp - getting weary of David Sedaris's Santaland Diaries.

David Waters, executive director of Community Servings, said the Kresge Foundation offered a $400,000 matching grant if Community Servings could raise the rest of the money for the campaign by Oct. 31. By August the organization still had to raise $500,000 to qualify for the grant.
