Dear Video Librarians,
Here's a quick note to let you know about some of Frameline's new and
upcoming releases! We just mailed out our 2010 Catalog Supplement --
if you'd like a copy, please feel free to send me an email, or download

A quick look:
- DECODING ALAN TURING
The inventor of the modern computer was a gay man who was persecuted
and forced into inhumane medical treatment and eventual suicide. What
other innovations might this great thinker have created?
- TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE
Medical providers are not required to learn about transgender people
during their schooling, so are often ill-prepared to meet the medical
needs of this socially and economically vulnerable population.
- DARK AND LOVELY, SOFT AND FREE
A network of gay hairstylists and their friends in South Africa provide
an alternative vision of acceptance and celebration in contrast to the
wave of homophobia that is sweeping across sub-Saharan Africa.
- THE CHOICE OF LOVE
Through meetings with both out and anonymous gay Muslims, as well as
Muslim clergy, this powerful documentary explores what it means not to
have the freedom to love whomever you want to love.
- QUEER CHINA, 'COMRADE' CHINA
China’s most prolific queer filmmaker presents a comprehensive
historical account of the queer movement in modern China.

the US, reaching hundreds of thousands of students, educators,
professionals, festival attendees, and others over the past 25 years.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
