(}Z'"or the first time since 1987, this Festival has been produced without support Jrom the National Endowment oj the Arts. On behalf oj Frameline,

I would like to thank each oj you whose generous assistance has alloV<>ed us to overcome this substantial financial loss and to continue the history .

oj the oldest lesbian and gay film Jestival in the world.

At Frameline, we've spent a lot oj time in the last Jour months working with NEA staJJ to respond to the constant barrage oj Cliticism aimed at the Endowment'sfunding oj our Festival.It is important to remember that these attacks do not originate at the NEA, but come Jrom organizations and individuals who have long opposed lesbian and gay visibility in any Jorm. Our community's political energy must remain Jocused on those whose pli mary agenda seeks to eradicate our contributions Jrom the public arena. As we go to press, there remains a ch�nce that the NEA will befunding one oj Frameline's other film programs; that decision will have been made by the time you read this. In today's panicky environment oj diminishingfunding and entrenched conservatism, we must remember that there is life beyond the NEA. There is a larger context in which to view our quest Jar recognition. Those opposed to Jederalfunding oj lesbian and gay film seem intent on turning back the clock.They understand - at times better than we seem to-the power that exists in our Visibility. But as we look back, history oJJers a clear sense oj our determin�tion to speak about our lives against any odds. This Festival is but a small part oj the centuries oj work created by artists whom we would now call lesbian and gay. We must continue to see ourselves as part oj tha� history ... not only to prepare Jar the real struggles that still lie ahead, but to pay tribute to so many who have created their art in isolation. We must also pay tribute to the filmmakers and video artists whose work is represented in this year's Festival.From a range oj countries and cultures, they have chosen to create a vision that speaks about our lives today. Each oj these works is a testament to our strength as a community and to our willingness to continue to challenge our image oj ourselves. We owe it to ourselves, to those who have preceded us and to those who will Jollow to keep our culture alive, protected and prosperous.No one else will do this Jar us. For the Joreseeable future we must continue to serve as our own critics, historians, artists and audiences.And that's an obligation -.9hamas 0 iMaria, Executive Director

we must all take seriously. FRAMELINE STAFF

C H A N G I N G O U R M I N D S : T H E STORY OF D R. EVELYN H OO K E R Frameline's Opening Night Gala celebrates the launch of the Festival and the kick-off of the 1992 Lesbian/Gay Freedom Day Celebration. The evening begins at 7:00pm with a special preview screening of Richard Schmiechen's Changing Our Minds: The Story oj Dr. Evelyn Hooker. Afterwards, ride in our reserved historic trolleycars-champagne and non-alcoholic beverages served on board-from the Castro to the dazzling San Francisco Mart, for cocktails, dinner and dancing. Tickets for the entire

evening are $50.00; tickets for the screening of Changing

Our Minds (only) are also available for $7.00. For informa tion and reservations, please call (415) 431-9227. For lesbians and gay men, our history is still an undis covered country. In Changing 'Our Minds, director Richard Schmiechen-producer of Academy Award-winning Times

oj Harvey Milk

brings to film the compelling historical

story of the trailblazing psychologist whose research proved that homosexuality is not a mental illness. It's a powerful and affecting drama, moving from the 1940s to present day, using archive footage and illuminating interviews. Eye-opening period films and photos evoke the repres sive period of her research: lesbian and gay love was illegal, and hysteria over the McCarthy hearings prompted the persecution of "perverts." For decades the medical community had been using appalling treatments· on gay men and women: lobotomy, castration, hysterectomy, and electroshock therapy. Through her friendship with a student who introduced her to Los Angeles' secret gay world, Dr. Hooker began pioneering studies which resulted-in 1974-in the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's official list of mental disorders.

Changing Our Minds is a brilliant tribute to an important pioneer whose work has impacted the lives of all American lesbians and gay men. Director Richard Schmiechen and producer David Haugland will be at this screening.

Changing Our Minds is preceded by Resonance, a sublime short about queer-bashing in the back streets of Sydney. <:r- RESONANCE

Looking was unanimously awarded the Teddy Bear Prize for Best Gay Short.

Caught Looking is a sexy and subversive comedy about gay men's stereotypical sexUal fantasies; it's built around a new virtual reality home computer game in which the player can select any historical period or location, and then insert himself into the action. Caught

Looking was originally made for Channel Four's Out series, but-unsurprisingly-deemed too explicit for rnid-evening television. Also by Giannaris, North of Vortex is a sensual change of pace: a studied black-and white road movie about a bisexual poet, two hitchhikers, and the American landscape.

A PLAC E O F RAG E K H U SH Join us for two powerful documentaries intro duced by lesbian filmmaker Pratibha Parmar. A Place oj Rage is a dynamic celebration of

African-American women and their achieve ments, featuring interviews with Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker. Within the context of the civil rights, Black power and feminist movements, the trio reassesses how women such as Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer revolutionized American society. Angela Davis recounts her involvement with the Black Panthers and the Communist Party . Archival footage is interwoven with June Jordan's poetry, linking issues of bomophobia, racism, U.s. imperialism and liberation strug gles worldwide. The insights of Alice Walker and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ba further en rich this engrossing portrait of Black feminism. A stirring chapter in African American history. Plus, an encore screening of Khush, winner of the audience award for Best Short Documen tary at last year's FestivaL Taking its title from the Urdu word meaning "ecstatic pleasure," Kl1ush is an uplifting documentary about South

Asian lesbians and gay men in Britain, North America and lndia. Parmar's newest work, DoubLe the Trouble, Twice the Fun looks at disabled gays and les

God Save the Queens. "

-Jose Sarria, 1948 Before Harvey Milk came West, Jose Sarria community spokesperson and Black Cat regu lar-was organizing gays to stand up and be proud of who we are. In 1 96 1 , in a symbolic gesture that lIevery vote was a protest against police harassment of gays," he also filed a petition to run for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. In 1 992, Jo,e Sarria is barely known outside of the drag circuit. Our concerns within white gay culture have al ways been ignored or excluded. Latino activists' contributions- like Sarria 's-have been rendered invisible. This history of exclusion compelled me to come up with these four prog rams celebrating recent work by Latina/o lesbian and gay artists. With these four programs (and there is other Latina/o work spread elsewhere throughout the Festival) I have tried fo do two things. First, I want ed the San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival to reach beyond its familiar constituency, and reach a new audience. Secondly, I wanted all lesbian and gay people to share in the achievements and excite ment of new Latina/o work.

THE GAY DECEI VERS Yes, Virginia, there were other gay-themed films of the 60s besides Boys in the Band-and

The Gay Deceivers is the best of them. The plot's simple: two straight all-American boys play sissy to dodge the draft; they move into a swishy all-gay L.A. apartment complex, and a comedy of misunderstanding ensues. The Gay Deceivers is like Love, American Style on drugs; it's lurid, weird and unintentionally funny. What makes the movie really treasurable, however, is Michael Greer (who went on to feature as another queen in Fortune and Men's

Eyes) ; his swishes and turns were such a hit with audiences that the distributor switched ad campaigns after a week's release, billing him as the star. At this special revival screening, . Michael Greer will be present to dish onstage about the making of the movie afterwards.

Michael Greer will also be appearing at josie's Cabaret & juice joint, Saturday and Sunday june 2 7-28. Please call (41 5) 861 -7933 for tickets and information. Fortune and Men's Eyes plays Friday june 26,

It is the humanity and reach of Marlon's work that precisely makes it threatening to our opponents.

lent existence. A fragmented and bizarre drama of lust, jealousy and revenge develops between the film's three protagonists: Spy (a brooding cartoonist), Volley (Spy's ruthless antagonist) and Nun (a necrophiliac nun in a red plastiC outfit) . The film's technical innovations in Super 8 cinematography (blown up to 1 6mm) , sound, editing, set and costume design are as remark able as the story being told. Co-directed by a trio of Austrian filmmakers, Flaming Ears stakes out a new lesbian aesthetic for the 90s. Plus, check out Rosebud, the hottest lesbian coming out story you've ever seen. There's tons of voyeurism, cruising, and girls making out in this shiny, sexy color fantasy. ROSEBUD Dir. Cheryl Farthing ( 1 992) GB 1 4 mins. 1 6mm � FLAMING EARS Dir. Angela Hans

CAN'T STO P T H E M USIC Produced by Allan Carr after the unlikely suc cess of Grease, Can't Stop The Music was de signed to broaden the appeal of 70s gay icons, The Village People. It is probably one of the strangest films of the 80s. On the one hand, it was promoted as the family musical movie phenomenon of the decade, and accordingly the Village People were scrubbed clean of Association sponsored a nationwide tie-in). On the other hand, the movie is chock full 0' faggy in-jokes, campy musical sequences, homoerotic set-ups, and nancyboy behavior.

Can't Stop the Music is also being shown

as a tribute to director Nancy Walker (better known as Rhoda's mom) , who died earlier l'his year. Watch out for Nancy's visionary use of cinemascopic split screen for the setpiece "YMCA" number.

Two powerful new tapes which both shake up the notion of 'educational video.' Gay Youth (which was assisted by Frameline's Film &: Video Completion Fund) is a stirring tape about two teens: Bobby Griffith, who killed himself at the age of 20, and Gina Gutierrez, a . 17 year old high school senior who has received acceptance and support for her sexu al identity. One story is about death, the other about life; director Pam Walton shows what can make the difference. Last year, British-based filmmaker Toichi Nakata invited his Japanese pal Minoru to visit him in London. M inoru -who has cerebal palsy-tells Toichi he has a confession to make . Minoru and Me is the (real life) video result . It's a horribly honest drama: T oichi becomes increasingly obsessed with portraying Minoru as disabled and dependent; Minoru becomes increasingly disgusted and unable to state what he's travelled so far to say. In their argu ments and silences, there's a lot to learn about disability, about coming out and about the role of the filmmaker.

In A Certain Grace, by local filmmaker Sandra Nettlebeck, Zelda meets Alice and they begin to work together on a photography project. Their relationship develops, and Zelda's boyfriend starts to think that Zelda is spending too much time with Alice. As the erotic tension between Zelda and Alice heightens, a large poster of Michelle Shocked looms prominently on the kitchen wall. Justine Buchanan's Glasses Breal? offers a bittersweet recollection of a love affair. Angie Black's State oj Mind takes us through an experimental sexual journey as a butch babe on a motorcycle recalls a past lover. Then, a woman's realization of her attraction to a co worker prompts a fantastic reverie at the Doll Shop, by Christine Rasmussen. True Blue

We are proud to host the first screening of Frameline Award-winner Marlon Rigg's latest tape, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien. Through music, poetry and, at times, chill ing self-disclosure, five seropositive black gay men speak of their individual confrontation with AIDS. Each man tells a singular and at the same time familiar story of self-transfor mation- from panic, resignation and silence to the discovery of the redemptive, healing power in being vocal and visible. Plus, from England, Rage and Desire, a memorial to black gay photographer Rotimi Fani-Koyode. Ruppert Gabriel's elegant, per sonal film also raises powerful questions about race, sexuality and identity. Also from England, Pratibha Parmar's Double the Trouble, a tale about one man's search for his community. That the man is Indian, gay and disabled leads to some revealing confrontations; Pratibha Parmar brings to her latest film-made for Channel Four's Out- the same wit and rich ness seen in her acclaimed earlier work Khush. A Tribute to Marlon Riggs will talle place on Thursday June 25 7:00 pm at the Castro. Khush and A Place of Rage play on Sunday June 2 1 ,
