SF/Arts Curator Insight

Among the 47 offerings by queer women, nonbinary and trans filmmakers of color are: a newly restored print of “A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lord,” an award-winning 1995 portrait, spanning the fifty-year career of a queer black feminist/activist icon; ¡Quba!, directed by Kim Anno, a Bay Area-based queer black Japanese American artist and filmmaker, exploring Cuba’s rocky road towards LGBTQ+ equality; and, Ebony Marie Bailey’s “Hannah Mayree: Songs of Reclamation,” a short in which a musician and community organizer reclaims the banjo’s Black roots by building instruments from scratch.
