LGBT People of Color Filmlist
The FILM LIST, v1.0 (Aug. 1995) is the latest step in an on-going project to compile a comprehensive computer data base first undertaken in August 1994 on films and videos produced by, for and/or about Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered People of African, Asian, Latin, Middle Eastern and Native American Descent.
In the growing body of filmwork on the subject of homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism, that subsection devoted to or produced by People of Color is a comparatively small one.
However, due to a specific search to find such films and videos for inclusion in the Capital Region's Third Annual Lesbian & Gay Film and Video Festival in Albany, NY, I was able to compile a listing of some 56 titles, by film and videomakers located around the world. Because of time restraints, I cut short my search shortly thereafter. At that time I got the distinct impression that I did not even begin to scratch the surface of all that is out there.
The purpose for developing this data base is to make this information more widely available to those engaged in a similar type search for films and videos, for festivals, educational, theatrical or broadcast use. This is the first time this list has been made available on the Internet.
As novel writing was to a previous generation, film and video production is today one of the most popular forms of personal artistic expression. More and more, GLBT People of Color are using this medium to find their voice. As a result, this list will out of necessity grow in time.
If you are, or know of, a film or video maker, located in any country, who is of Asian, Black, Spanish Speaking, Middle Eastern, or North or South American Indian ancestry, who has produced a project of any kind pertaining to the lives of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgendered people, please provide the information in the same format as those listed herein. Information, corrections, and changes may be emailed to: Bernard J. Tarver at BT11360@aol.com.
Entries in the FILM LIST are formatted in the following manner:
General Subject/Sexual Orientation (Asian/Black/Latin/Native
American)/(Gay/Lesbian)

This document of grass-roots AIDS education in Thailand presents the unique approach to AIDS education of the White Line Dance Troupe, who combine traditional Thai dance, modern dance, and Thai popular music in their educational performances. Also featured on the tape are scenes of safer sex instruction from a gay bar owner and two handsome young men; health care information from the director of FACT, the Fraternity of AIDS Cessation in Thailand, which was started and funded by gay Thais to educate all segments of their society. (1992, USA)

Bangkok (Fighting AIDS) John Goss
$50.00/video 6 minutes Video Data Bank
The White Line Dance Troupe blends traditional dance with popular Thai rock music, creating a unique cultural form. In this piece (an excerpt from "Flowing Hearts: Thailand Fighting AIDS"), the White Line Dance Troupe performs a dance in which the heart of the gentle kingdom is threatened and condoms are the only hope. The lyric is the complete Thai name of Grung Thep, the angel city, known to the rest of the world as Bangkok. The dance reflects traditional conflicts of good and evil, in a form unique to Thai culture. (1991, USA)
Asian/Gay
Memory Pictures Pratibha Parmar
$50.00/video 24 minutes; color Frameline
Parmar's work addresses racism and sexual identity through the story of photographer, Sunil Gupta. Gupta's family migrated from Asia to Canada, and his work documents the journey west, examines racism from the perspective of migrating people, and is seasoned by a particular gay sensibility. The narration by Meera Syal poetically threads together the film's themes about a history "bursting to be told." (1989, UK)
Asian/Gay
Orientations Richard Fung
$75.00/video 56 minutes Video Data Bank
In response to the dominant impression that "gay people are white people", "Orientations" aims to set the record straight. More than a dozen men and women of different Asian backgrounds speak frankly, humorously and often poignantly about their lives as members of a minority within a minority. They speak about coming out, homophobia, racism, cultural identity, sex--the ways that being Gay and Asian have shaped who they are. (1984, Canada)
Asian/Gay
Chinese Characters Richard Fung
$50.00/video 22 minutes Video Data Bank
Asian men relate their histories and relationship to pornography, as personal techniques are demonstrated and finally deployed in a "High Noon" dream of sexual adventure. (1986, Canada)

Steam Clean Richard Fung and Gay Mens' Health Crisis
$50.00/video 4 minutes Video Data Bank
Made for Canadian TV and targeting the Asian gay community, this PSA leaves little room for doubt on the safe use of condoms by speaking its message in seven languages. (1990, Canada)
Asian/Gay
Minoru & Me Toichi Nakata
$60.00/video 45 minutes; color Frameline
British-based filmmaker Toichi Nakata invited his Japanese pal Minoru to visit him in London. Minoru, who has cerebral palsy, tells Toichi he has a confession to make. "Minoru & Me" is the real life video result. It's a horribly honest drama: Toichi becomes increasingly obsessed with portraying Minoru as disabled and dependent; Minoru becomes increasingly disgusted and unable to state what he's traveled so far to say. Much to learn about disability, coming out and the role of the filmmaker. (1992, UK) [Japanese and English language, English subtitles]
Asian/Lesbian
Malaysian Series 1-6 Azian Nurudin
$40.00/video 15 minutes; color Frameline
Videomaker Azian Nurudin was inspired by the early '80s punk scene. "Malaysian Series 1-6" presents a succession of brief performances. In each, Nurudin, dressed in leather jacket and print sarong, alternately whips and beats various small appliances--a TV, a toaster oven. A hypnotic, punky assault on aspects of Western culture. (1986-87, USA)
Asian/Lesbian
Wicked Radiance Azian Nurudin
$35.00/video 5 minutes; b&w Frameline
A film that delves into aspects of S/M sexuality and the director's Muslim background. Erotic and darkly esoteric, "Wicked Radiance" artfully details the rituals involving a sexual bondage scene between two women. Nurudin uses extreme close ups and skillfully blends and contrasts shadow and light, creating a rich texture of stark, black and white images. Hands are tied, backs are whipped and violence is sexualized in Nurudin's steamy, gorgeous and haunting video essay. A pulsating drum performance drives the video's soundtrack. (1992, USA) [Malay language]
Asian/Lesbian
Just a Love Thang Mari Keiko Gonzalez
$35.00/video 4 minutes; b&w Frameline
"Just a Love Thang" is a video illustrating through melodramatic, sensual vignettes, the "normalcy" of an Asian Pacific American lesbian couple juxtaposed with the way Asian Pacific Americans are depicted in the media.

What Does It Mean to Capture a Soul? Amos White V
unknown/video 3 minutes self-distributed

From the maker of "Looking for Langston" and "Young Soul Rebels", the attendant is an older, wiser, Black man who works in an art museum, where he sees a 19th century painting "Scene on the Coast of Africa" of slaves and chains, come to life. Vivid imagery reveals the man's fantasy of psychic pleasures of sado-masochistic relationships. (1992, UK)
Black/Gay
This Is Not an AIDS Advertisement Isaac Julien
$35.00/ video 10 minutes; color Frameline
An impressionistic antidote to the passionless guilty AIDS awareness campaign conducted in Britain in 1987. The first half combines sad, romantic images of Black and white men with soft focus landscape shots. The second half moves uptempo with a rap and a witty mix of butch and camp imagery. Strong political messages for Black, white, gay and straight audiences. (1988, UK)
Black/Gay
The Male Gayze Jack Waters
$40.00/ video 11 minutes; color Frameline
A Black dancer relates a salutary anecdote about losing a competition in Europe, and about being courted by one of the judges--who turns out to be fixed on exploiting his image. "If there's a distinction between pornography and erotica," says the narrator, "then pornography always produces a victim." (1990, USA)

Black/Gay
Anthem Marlon Riggs
$40.00/ video; $45.00/16mm 9 minutes; color Frameline
Marlon Riggs' experimental music video politicizes the homoeroticism of African American men. With images--sensual, sexual and defiant--and words intended to provoke, "Anthem" reasserts our "self-evident right" to life and liberty in an era of pervasive anti-gay, anti-Black backlash and hysterical cultural repression. (1991, USA)
Black/Gay
No Regret (Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien) Marlon Riggs
$75.00/video;$125.00/16mm 38 minutes; color Frameline
Through music, poetry and quiet, at times, chilling self-disclosure, five seropositive Black Gay men speak of their individual confrontation with AIDS, illuminating the difficult journey black men throughout America make in coping with the personal and social devastation of the epidemic. From panic, resignation and silence to the discovery of the redemptive, healing power in being vocal and visible as HIV-positive Black Gay men, each tells a singular and at the same time familiar story of self-transformation. (1992, USA)
Black/Gay
Tongues Untied Marlon Riggs
$80.00/video;$150.00/16mm 55 minutes; color Frameline
This is the acclaimed account of Black Gay life by Emmy Award-winning director Marlon Riggs. Using poetry, personal testimony, rap and performance, "Tongues Untied" describes the homophobia and racism that confront Black Gay men. Some of the tales are troublesome: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen. Yet Riggs also presents the rich flavor of the Black Gay male experience, from protest marches and smokey bars to the language of the "snap diva" and Vogue dancer. (1989, USA)
Black/Gay
Billy Turner's Secret Michael Mayson
$50.00/ video; $85.00/16mm 26 minutes; color Frameline

Black/Gay
Black Body Thomas Harris
$50.00/video 5 minutes Video Data Bank
"Black Body" is a harsh and compelling meditation on the contradictory values assigned to Black bodies in American culture: they exist as both desired and feared, abject and powerful. The "black body" is a body whose surface reflects projected fears and repressed desires, as such, it exists as a site of ideological struggle, a surface which is simultaneously eroticized and denigrated. With nightmarish narratives and loaded terms hovering over an image of a naked torso bound with wire, Harris shows how these contradictory values continue to cripple and contort the self-image of blacks. (1992, USA)
Black/Gay
Splash Thomas Harris
$50.00/video 7 minutes Video Data Bank
A fable-like tale, "Splash" explores the interplay between identity, fantasy, and homosexual desire in pre-adolescence within the narrow construction of black masculinity. The tape is an exploration of the filmmaker's psycho-social and sexual development within a society that encourages the consumption of whiteness and heterosexuality. Unwittingly, the family becomes the agency through which sexual repression and gender conformity are carried out. (1991, USA)
Black/Gay

Voguing: The Message David Bronstein, Dorothy Low, Jack
Walworth
$40.00/video 13 minutes; color Frameline
By now, most of us know what voguing is. "Voguing: The Message" traces its roots as a gay, Black and Latino dance form which appropriates and plays with the poses and images from mainstream fashion.

She Don't Fade Cheryl Dunye
$50.00/video 23 minutes Video Data Bank
"She Don't Fade" chronicles the experiences of one woman's search for love. Dunye plays Shae, a Black Lesbian who is trying out her "new approach" to women. Dunye's use of narrative and humor are effective not only in showing the intimacies of lesbian relationships, but also in portraying, as she tells us, "...a Black Lesbian's sexuality in the context of a broader lesbian community." The tape provides a refreshingly personal account of the excitement and enjoyment felt between women in love. (1991, USA)
Black/Lesbian
The Potluck and the Passion Cheryl Dunye
$50.00/video 20 minutes Video Data Bank
"The Potluck and the Passion" depicts the one-year anniversary celebration of the same Lesbian couple that got together in "She Don't Fade". The video, however, focuses non on the hostesses, but on the relationship between two of their guests: an interracial lesbian couple, Megan and Tracy. Juxtaposing scenes from the party, Megan and Tracey's personal reflections, and stereotypical images of black and white women, Dunye's video is a commentary on inter-racial lesbian relationships and the historical relationship of African American women to issues of race, sexuality and gender. (1992, USA)

Latina/Gay/Lesbian
Seams Karim Ainouz
$80.00/16mm 30 minutes; color and b&w Frameline
"Seams" is an experimental narrative about machismo in the Northeast of Brazil. It is also a lyrical visit with Ainouz's five Brazilian great-aunts, each of whom relates stories about romance, marriage, suffering and survival in a man's world. The narrative from one of the stories is spliced into the conversations with Ainouz's aunts. Ainouz weaves an account of Brazil's social and sexual constraints for women and gay men, seen through the eyes of these five elderly women. This is both a hauntingly beautiful exploration of resistance and a collective autobiography. (1993,Brazil/USA) [Portuguese language, English subtitles]
Latina/Gay/Lesbian
East River Park Zoe Leonard
$40.00/16mm 6 minutes; b&w Frameline
An artful film which captures the essence of humankind at its worst. Six minutes of silent footage offer a tour of homophobic and hateful graffiti scrawled over benches and walls in an urban park. The personal and persecuting nature of the defacements is a chilling reminder of the attitudes and fears perpetuated by ignorance. A good film to accompany discussion about violence, homophobia and AIDS stigmatism. (1992, USA)
Latina/Lesbian
Kim Arlyn Gajilan
$40.00/video 27 minutes; color Frameline
Kim is a young Puerto Rican lesbian who describes coming out and coming of age in New York City. But it's not the usual story; it's a candid face-against-the-face confessional.

Latina/Lesbian
After the Break Mary Guzman
$40.00/video;$50.00/16mm 13 minutes; b&w Frameline
A lesbian therapy group leads to personality clashes in this funny film about co-dependency, domestic violence and the ability to love. Guzman's "After the Break" is dead-on about the process of "processing." Anyone who has ever tried to communicate their feelings, or listened to others communicate theirs will relate. A narrative with the motto: "I am tough...and I can love." (You can also get rid of that abusive girlfriend.)
Latino/Gay

History of Violence Danny Acosta
$40.00/video;$40.00/16mm 7 minutes; color Frameline
This disturbing and controversial experimental film tells the story of 28 year old Ray Garcia, whose abusive upbringing still affects him deeply. His personal history growing up in a violent family, compounded with the barrage of violence he views on television pushes him over the edge.

Winner, U of Oregon Queer Film/Video Festival Competition, 1993. (1991, USA)

Mala Noche Gus Van Sant

By the director of "Drugstore Cowboy" and "My Own Private Idaho", "Mala Noche" is a stunning, ultra-realistic glance at a young gay man's unrequited love for a 16 year old Mexican. Walt, who is openly and happily gay, lives and works among the transients, winos and migrant workers who make up Portland's skid row. When he meets Johnny he develops a hopelessly doomed passion that he knows is pointless--but he can't seem to shake it. (1986, USA)

Latino/Gay
Both Vic De La Rosa
$35.00/video;$40.00/16mm 8 minutes; b&w Frameline
A painfully honest and beautiful documentary of a romance between two HIV positive San Francisco men. The filmmaker captures a day in the life, a day like any other, in which Jeff and Gary, like any other couple, buy groceries, tend to the garden, cook dinner, and take time to relax together. De La Rosa's film is somewhere between documentary and narrative, incorporating the nostalgia of "home movies" with an experimental edge. (1993, USA)
