SHE'S A BOY I KNEW
By Gwen Haworth
|
“Honest, intelligent and absolutely
clear-eyed. Unlike most autobiographical docu helmers, Haworth
has a degree in filmmaking, and her thorough understanding of
the medium results in a well-edited portrait smoothly interweaving
talking heads with home movies while steadily moving forward
both chronologically and emotionally. Humor is another unexpected
plus, picked up on by brief animated segments ("How to
Be a Girl," etc.) that provide just the right amount of
leavening.”

"This moving and thoughtful
documentary raises awareness about the abuse, isolation and
poor medical care faced by transgender prisoners. We hope that
the film's insight will be a springboard for new policies that
adequately protect this vulnerable community."
-Elizabeth
Alexander, Executive Director, ACLU NATIONAL PRISON PROJECT
Making its major festival premier at South by Southwest,

SEEING
RED is the latest work from veteran avant-garde filmmaker
Su Friedrich. In this, one of her most deeply personal films
to date, Friedrich takes a look back at her evolution both as
a woman and as an artist, tackling her own insecurities via
several on-camera diary entries. While Seeing Red is a film
about the existential crises of the individual, it is also a
film about what unites all humanity and what unites humanity
with all the matter surrounding us. |

Since the 1970's, Friedrich'
skillful mix of experimental narrative and documentary forms,
filled with provocative feminist and lesbian themes, has made
her a groundbreaking member of the avant-garde film community
and a pivotal force in the establishment of Queer Cinema. This
collection of DVDs includes the filmmaker's classic works such
as SINK OR SWIM, HIDE
AND SEEK, THE TIES THAT
BIND, DAMNED IF YOU DON'T,
and THE ODDS OF RECOVERY,
as well as EIGHT BONUS FILMS.

PILLS
PROFITS PROTEST: CHRONICLE OF THE GLOBAL AIDS MOVEMENT is
a passionate and timely documentary about AIDS treatment activism.
The movement for access to AIDS treatment is, at heart, a highly
personal battle being led by individuals who are motivated by
a desire to stay alive and save their communities and, in the
process, change the world. Weaving together the perspectives
and experiences of activists from Durban to Delhi, from Botswana
to Bahia, from Philadelphia to Port-Au-Prince, a collective
voice, rooted in local struggles, emerges. |

"A lot of people have heard
about a lesbian sex revolution in San Francisco, but not a lot

the Union” |

needed historical and legal perspective to the political war

to the middle ages to gay hippies storming the Manhattan marriage
bureau in 1971. |
