Re: [Videolib] help with video titles on homosexuality

2010-03-16 Thread Filmakers Library

hi Rhonda
This may be a long shot but we have a film called Paradise Bent which  
talks about the culture of homosexuality in Samoa.

Here is a short description: the 'full descriptionis on our website
This is one of the first explorations of the Samoan fa'afafines,  
boys who are raised as girls, fulfilling a traditional role in Samoan  
culture. The film shows how in the large Samoan family there may be  
one or two fa'afafines who are not only accepted but appreciated.  
They cheerfully share the women's traditional work of cooking,  
cleaning and caring for children and the elderly. Today's fa'afafines  
are becoming more westernized and look more like drag queens.


It was produced ten years ago but it's timeless, I think.

Hi Rhonda,
Just remembered a second  similar film to the one just mentioned,  
called Juchitan, Queer Paradise which also explains the  
relationship of culture and homosexuality., this time in Mexico.
Again, the full description is on our web page.  Produced in 2003.

This too may be a long shot, but we have a new title, This is Family, a
fascinating and sometimes shocking documentarywhich profiles the diversity
of gay and transgender households in America today. With the aspirations and
diverse ways of life for gay and alternative households changing so quickly,
is society adapting fast enough to keep up with them?
