Two more titles have been added to this year's Damn These Heels LGBT Film Festival, running July 15-17 at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, Salt Lake City.

The new titles are:

• "Being 17," a French drama by director André Téchiné ("Thieves," "The Girl on the Train," "In the Name of My Daughter"). "Damien lives with his mother Marianne, a doctor, while his father is on a tour of duty abroad, and is bullied by Thomas, whose mother is ill. When Marianne takes Thomas into her home, Damien must learn to live with the boy who terrorized him." Screens Saturday, July 16, at 9:45 a.m.

• "The Pearl," a documentary by Jessica Dimmock and Christopher LaMarca that "explores the raw emotional and physical experience of being a middle-aged senior transgender woman against the backdrop of post-industrial logging towns in the Pacific Northwest. The film leans into the struggle of those who were reared and successful as men and have reached middle age or later with a burdensome secret that they can no longer keep." Screens Sunday, July 17, at 10:15 a.m.

The Utah Film Center, which is presenting Damn These Heels, also announced the special guests that will be attending the festival's opening, centerpiece and closing-night films.

• On opening night, Friday, July 15, after the screening of the documentary "Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four," three of the film's subjects — Elizabeth Ramirez, Cassandra Rivera and Anna Vasquez — and one of their lawyers, Mike Ware, will take questions.

• After the Centerpiece screening of the documentary "Kiki," on Saturday, July 16, Gia Marie Love, a community activist and member of the Ballroom and Kiki scene in New York, will take part in a Q&A.

• The closing-night film, "Strike a Pose," will be followed by a Q&A with two of the dancers profiled in the film, Kevin Alexander Stea and Luis Camancho, moderated by Troy Williams, executive director of Equality Utah.

• Other Q&As at the festival will feature filmmaker Johnny Symons (after his documentary "Out Run") and director Freddy Rodriguez (after the short "Fire").
