This film chronicles poet Audre Lorde’s broad social vision and the translation of that vision into a historic transnational conference, “I Am Your Sister: Forging Global Connections Across Differences,” which took place in Boston in October, 1990. Intrinsically important in the second wave of the US Feminist movement, Lorde (1934-1992), through her 15 books of poetry and prose, consistently challenged racism, sexism and homophobia, serving as a catalyst for change within and among social movements.

Tina soon develops a major crush on Robbie. Robbie, however, develops a crush of his own… The Mountain King by Duncan Tucker is a sensuously photographed film that depicts a relationship between a persuasive hustler and a quietly closeted young man at the beach. …lost by Dan Castle was made in response to growing complacency about the continuing threat of AIDS and captures a day in the life of a young man foundering in a world of drugs, anonymous tricks, and AIDS. When Joseph asks his lifelong partner, Caesar, to send for a priest in The Confession by Carl Pfirman, it leads to a dramatic struggle in this moving exploration of love, faith and commitment.
