Jim Hodges’s sculpture With Liberty and Justice for All (A Work in Progress) is a pledge, a call to action, and a platform for dialogue. Join us we consider this work of art in the context of films about intersectional LGBTQ themes.
A foundational film of contemporary queer cinema, The Watermelon Woman—about a young black lesbian working a day job at a video store while trying to make a film about an obscure 1930s black actress known for playing the stereotypical roles relegated to black actresses of the period—remains astonishingly cutting-edge twenty years after its release.
Re-released for its 20th anniversary in a pristine 2K HD restoration. (Directed by Cheryl Dunye, 1996, 90 min.)
Film will be introduced by B. B. Araya of We Are, a narrative short film series that offers a glimpse into the lives of seven women of color who call Austin home. Araya is a first-generation writer, filmmaker, and improviser based in Austin, Texas. In 2014, she made her first film in her own backyard (literally) and hasn’t been able to stop since.
