Description

The 3rd annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival features 32 brand new films that burst on screen in 4 film programs which paint the vivid, provocative, and kaleidoscopic stories of queer women of color.  From the luminous romance between two queer Asian women to the dynamic portraits of immigrant Latina lesbians to the vibrant humor of Black lesbians translating slang, these films infuse our lives with hilarity and hope. 

June 8-10, 2007. 
Brava Theater, 2781-24th Street, San Francisco.

ALL SCREENINGS ARE FREE!!!

FESTIVAL FOCUS: Queer Black Women’s Films & Filmmakers

Join us for this inspiring celebration of queer Black women leaders in film and in our communities. 

3 p.m. ($15)
Featured Panel - Representations of Queer Black Women in Film

In the words of filmmaker Julie Dash, the reason that so few films about Black women exist is that, "No one wants to be a Black woman for even two and a half hours." What does it mean then, to represent queer Black women onscreen? Join us for this ground-breaking discussion of the intersections of race, gender and sexuality and the celebration of films created in our own image!
