Description

Compilation of dubs for teaching. Lavendar Limelight is a documentary about queer film histsory. Couple in a cage is by Coco Fusco, a friend and colleague who supported me in the beginning of my career by helping me get a large grant for We Care when she worked at the NY State Council on the Humanities. Perfect Film (1986), a found footage film of eyewitness accounts of the assassination of Malcolm X, is a perfect allegory for Jacobs' notion of "the movies that make up our minds, are our minds in large part".
