“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 adequately protect this vulnerable community."

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. |

documentary forms, filled with provocative feminist and lesbian
themes, has made her a groundbreaking member of the avant-garde

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

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. |

it."
