7th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival
Friday, June 10 to Sunday, June 12
Brava Theater 2789 24th Street, SF
The 2011 Queer Women of Color Film Festival world premieres 38 new films that kindle tenacious connections of community, family and romance. It features delicious stories about our loves and our lives that are FINGER SUCKING GOOD. It shows our fierce and fabulous history and the way forward through the voices of THINKERS & TROUBLEMAKERS. It offers views into the wholly transcendent experience of being a person on the margins who is SOARING PAST SURVIVAL in a world that is brutally beautiful. It follows fat, fierce Femmes unafraid to be their most audacious and salacious selves while IGNITING THE INTERSECTIONS of who and what we are. It celebrates our HOMEGROWN GIFTS and acknowledges our FIERCE ENTANGLEMENTS of love, family and community.
FESTIVAL FOCUS: Igniting the Intersections
Saturday, June 11
Our Festival Focus day puts special emphasis on queer trendsetters and hell raisers across generations. Igniting the Intersections: LGBTQ People of Color sets afire crossroads of identity and issues to build a blistering amalgam of truth, love and justice.
THINKERS & TROUBLEMAKERS
PANEL DISCUSSION
1 PM
Standing at the intersections of gender, sexuality, nationality, race/ethnicity and culture, this panel of deep thinkers, take-charge doers, and long-time troublemakers illustrates the paths that have led to our current crossroads and illuminates our way forward through social justice feminism.     Join Jewelle Gomez, Ericka Huggins, Pratibha Parmar, Olga Talamante and Helen Zia for a rabble-rousing and passion-piquing afternoon of activism!SOARING PAST SURVIVAL
3:30 PM
From simmering memories that threaten to explode, to the adjoining paths of culture and sexual identity, to incensed confrontations against street harassment, these films draw on the fire of our communities to forge our collective survival.  
IGNITING THE INTERSECTIONS
7:30 PM
From the sultry lacing of Femme identity and voluptuous proportions, to the scorching juncture where jazz talent converges with gender expectations, to the fiery combination of joy and healing for transmen of color, these films reflect the blistering fusion of glitter, passion and resilience that our communities of color have always embodied.
