KPFA - Womens Magazine KPFA

Today on KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine we will talk to the directors of two of the films premiering  this month at local  Queer film festivals.  The new documentary by Deborah Craig “Sally” is premiering at the  the SF Frameline film festival, and this just finished feature length documentary about lesbian feminist activist, scholar,theologian, and  local leader Sally Gerhardt is not to be missed.  Sally Gearhart was a lesbian-feminist firebrand, professor, and fantasy author who spearheaded the 1970s and 80s US lesbian feminist movement. The new documentary about her life directed by Deborah Craig called SALLY! peels back proverbial (and patriarchal) layers to reveal the collectivist reality behind our heroine’s story while exploring the complex relationship between spokeswoman-like Sally and movements for social change. While the showings at the  Frameline  SF LGBTQIA film festival on June 26th at 6 and 8pm are already sold out,  there may be rush tickets at the door. So go to frameline.org for more info.  And you should keep an eye out for this inspiring film, “Sally” at other film festivals and to find out  when it is hopefully picked up and distributed online for all of us to see go sallygearhartfilm.com to get info on future showings.
And I talk to Loa Niumeitolu and Laura AnnCoelho, who are  the directors and creators of the  brand new film “A Fish Does Not Drown): Pasifika Communities During Prop 8.” In this documentary Pasifika LGBTQ+ people share poignant stories of how their own Pasifika families and community criminalized and betrayed them during Prop 8 to defend and uphold the Mormon and CatholicChurches attempt to prevent same sex marriage in California  and how Queer Pasifika communities fought against that. This film will be showing for free  Friday night at the International Queer Women of Color Film Festival  at the beautifully renovated Presidio Theatre in San Francisco’s Presidio NationalPark. You can get tickets for this historic film “A Fish does not Drown” at qwocff.org and that film  and all the films at the Queer Women of color film festival in SF are free.  so don’t miss this film at part of the opening nite at the QWOCMAP festival starting June 14th and running thru Sunday June 16th with 44 original new films you won’t be able to find anywhere else
