Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy Headed People; Flag
Dub for teaching. I used these films often in my first years teaching feminist and women's film. Maybe Women Make Movies or the artists sent them to me for research for my film and book, Women of Vision.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels, Pts. 1 and 2
Dub of VHS filmed from 16mm print projected on a wall. I taught this film frequently in feminist film classes. It never stops giving: ideas about watching, time, and female's agency as actor, director, viewer, and "homemaker."
One Way or Another (De Cierta Manera)

Sambizanga
This dub was a gift to me from another Professor at Pitzer so that I could use it to teach women's and feminist film. Not sure I ever did. However, when I was editing my newest video, "Please Hold," in March 2024 as part of their amazing Film/Video…

This is a critical contribution to the history of feminist documentary, as it is situated within activist film. It links the women's movement to contemporaneous organizing and thinking about class and race, and understands access to filmmaking and…

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.
