Thanks, >Sandy Several were shown at the recent SCS conference.<shaking Mardi Gras beads out of my hair> The first I saw wasJUGGLING GENDER, by Tami Gold (1992, from Women Make Movies)--a videotape documentary about a sharply intelligent woman with a beard who is a lesbian. She describes/analyzes her situation both wryly and perceptively. SEcond was Yvonne Welbon's FIRST LOVE, a segment of a larger videotape project that is still underway. Welbon is a grad student at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. This piece mixes documentary interviews of a lesbian describing her first love and recreated, narrative segments of that love. It's a bit rough technically, but it provides interesting insight into what it is like to be a woman of color and a lesbian. There were a few more films. Perhaps someone else caught them? ---------- The matters I relate Are true lies. --Jean Cocteau ---------- | Jeremy G.
