Before Stonewall: The Making of a Gay & Lesbian Community
Greta Schiller & Robert Rosenberg | 1984 | USA | 87 minutes
Before Stonewall pries open the closet door--setting free the dramatic story of the sometimes horrifying public and private existences experienced by gay and lesbian Americans since the 1920s. Revealing and often humorous, this widely acclaimed film relives the emotionally-charged sparking of today's gay rights movement, from the events that led to the fevered 1969 riots to many other milestones in the brave fight for acceptance.
Experience the fascinating and unforgettable, decade-by-decade history of homosexuality in America through eye-opening historical footage and amazing interviews with those who lived through an often brutal closeted history.
Frenkel Defects
Frenkel Defects is a traveling program of workshops and screenings that attempt to form in its audience imperfect ideas of film. It takes the ordered sequence of thoughts and feelings we hold about the medium, and disrupts them or deforms them. These imperfections are not the same for each individual. They are not a prescription of a specific idea of film. They are an opening to new and unique sensations of wavelengths and frequency. An exposure on the mind and body to particles of light, for only fractions of a second, but nonetheless imparting a latent image within us to be developed. The title of the programme references the chemical phenomenon that permits photosensitivity to occur.
