Cinelounge Tiburon will host the short-film festival “Our Heroes Bleed Glitter: Modern Queer Films for Today’s Zeitgeist” at 6 p.m. Feb. 7. Curated by filmmakers Daniel Talbott, Andrew Klaus-Vineyard and Felix Mack, it includes 10 films showcasing modern queercore aesthetics: low-budget, emotional and celebrating more personal aspects of the LGBTQ+ community. Topics range from navigating dating apps to the power dynamic between students and teachers, emotionally fraught relationships, romance, heartbreak and an octogenarian scholar adding herself to classic art. Tickets are $19.99. cineloungefilm.com.

The fourth annual Belvedere Challenge fun run starts from San Rafael Avenue and West Shore Road at 10 a.m. Feb. 7. The event takes runners and walkers up and down 18 of the city’s 22 or so named public walking lanes, first by heading south along West Shore Road to Belvedere Avenue, then zigzagging back up the island to Beach Road, climbing the lanes on Corinthian Island and finally ending at Sam’s Anchor Cafe in Tiburon about 11 a.m. An alternate route without stairs will be available for those with walkers, strollers or dogs. The entry fee is a $2 bill, available at most banks. belvederechallenge.com.
