Living with Pride: Ruth Ellis @100
gift from filmmaker. Yvonne is my longtime friend and collaborator. I teach her films frequently in courses on feminist, queer, and documentary film. We co-edited Sisters in the Life: A History of Out African-American Media Making (2018).
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 Women of Vision.
Voting in the District: Fine Cut
Gift from filmmaker. I believe I acquired many of Charlene's films when I wrote a letter of evaulation for her as a fellow academic. I also knew her socially from Philly when I was making The Watermelon Woman with Cheryl Dunye.
Children Will Listen

Struggle: The Fight for Ethnic Studies at U.C. Berkeley

Dub of VHS filmed from 16mm print projected on a wall. I taught this film frequently in feminist film classes.
One Way or Another (De Cierta Manera)
I teach this film in feminist documentary because of its groudbreaking integration of documetary and fiction as well as for Gomez's important role as a woman filmmaker within Third cinema.
The Lost Garden: The Life and Cinema of Alice Guy-Blache
I believe this dub was a gift to me from another professor to be used for research on my documentary and book, "Women of Vision." She was a successful woman director during the silence period.
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.
The Woman's Film
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…
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.
