Fades of Black Women Film Showcase '08 Part I Discussion

On March 27, 2008 QBC Film Series presented the 3rd Annual Fades of Black Women Film Showcase. This year we paid tribute to the life and film works by Cheryl Dunye with a screening of HBO's Stranger Inside featuring Yolonda Ross. Dunye directed and co-wrote the film in 2001.

In this three part discussion, we begin with:

PART I - What are your thoughts on the screening of Stranger Inside?

Part II VISIBILITY-How many Black lesbian theme films can you name?

Part III THE FUTURE - Is it possible to create a feature films with a Black lesbian protagonist?

We welcome video and text responses. The discussion can be viewed at www.youtube.com/QBCTV, queerblackcinema.org and www.myspace.com/BLACKWOMENFILMSHOWCASE .

Let the discussion begins...

where can i go to view these films

Personally I don't care for Cheryl first mockumentary. Stranger Inside however...man I cried the first 20 times of watching it. I've never been in prison or been in the life. I do know how our family life can influence the choices we make good or bad. I was just like the main character for the first few years of my life. So, way to go on the film.

I think you should write it.

i wish someone could create a movie about the lesbian community today...the labels (studs, fems, soft studs, touch-me-not studs, etc) in the life of a stud growing up..the conflicts she experiences as a child trying to figure out her sexuality...dating in high school (messing with bicurious girls)..and afterwards..that would be the best movie ever
