Ruby: Hell Divin Women" and "The Women's Circus."
Celebrate women's creativity. The first two films tell the story of
America's hottest, multi-racial, all women jazz bands of the 1940s. At a
time when male musicians were the rule and segregation the law of the
land, these women defied convention. Plus be dazzled by Melbourne's own
women's circus on video, plus a few circus surprises!
Saturday 31 May -- "Deacons for Defense"
This fascinating documentary challenges pacifism with it examination of
armed defense by Blacks during the civil rights era in Louisiana.
Saturday 28 June -- Celebrate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots
which sparked the birth of the modern gay liberation movement at a
special screening of "Black Is...Black Ain't"
In his final film, Marlon Riggs, renown Black gay producer/director,
explores African American identity and fearlessly challenges homophobia,
sexism, patriarchy and racism as it exists in Black America. This
innovative documentary pushes people of all colours to examine the
stereotypes that Black equals male and heterosexual, while exploring
Black feminism.
