Some Ground to Stand On
This compelling documentary tells the life story of Blue Lunden, a working class lesbian activist whose odyssey of personal transformation parallels lesbians' changing roles over the past 40 years.  Starting with Blue's experience of being run out of the 1950's New Orleans gay bar scene for wearing men's clothing, Some Ground to Stand On combines interviews, rare photos, and archival footage to trace her experiences: giving up her child for adoption and getting her back; getting sober; and coming into her own as a lesbian rights, feminist, and anti-nuclear activist.  Now 61 and living in Sugarloaf Women's Village, Blue reflects on aging, activism, and a life spent “doing what she wanted” in this touching, inspiring look at a generation's struggle for a lesbian identity and consciousness.

Seventeen Rooms
Britain's Channel 4 refused to broadcast this piece because of its subtitle: “What Do Lesbians Do In Bed?”  The tape looks into seventeen bedrooms to challenge the titillating promise of that question with home movie footage and texts such as “Sleep”, “Read”, and even “Sometimes Kiss”.  A light and humorous examination of visual representations of women, sexual terminology and the definition of deviance.

In the Name of Allah
From the frontlines of independent filmmaking comes an unprecedented, provocative yet ultimately life affirming work. ‘In The Name Of Allah' is the world's first documentary to explore the complex intersections of Islam with homosexuality. Traveling through a worldwide spectrum of Islamic societies the film documents the stories and struggles of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and transgender Muslims and ends the deafening silence that surrounds their lives. Extremely relevant in a post 9-11 world this remarkable film is about coming back to faith and about shattering assumptions of religious fundamentalism.
