The Ride
gift from filmmaker for teaching and research.
The Ride #1/ Absolutely Fabulous
I taught this series for many years as a strong representation of the possibilities for community-based, collective, activist youth video. It seems to also have some of the TV show Absolutely Fabulous recorded from TV on to the same tape.

Without You, I'm Nothing
I taught this film for many years. It felt utterly cutting edge to me, primarily for its no-holds-barred attack on racism from Sandra Bernhard's debased position of whiteness. It's cheeky queerness also felt utterly new in its time.
Women And AIDS
I made three tapes for the Gay Men's Health Crisis, under the supportive leadership of Jean Carlomusto. A great deal of important AIDS activist and educational video work was done there. This is one of the first videos made about this issue. It was…
