DESCRIPTION:In its ninth year, the Women of Color Film Festival showcases a diverse 
 array of innovative short films and videos from sisters of color. It 
 celebrates the distinct perspectives of individuals who are united in 
 giving voice to an underrepresented group.   The curators are proud to 
 highlight women of color as filmmakers, not only in the directorial role, 
 but also in less visible but equally crucial positions as writers, 
 cinematographers, and producers.   From the power of media manipulation in 
 the animated world of teenage girls in Oakland to the poignant reunion 
 between a father and his daughters on the streets of Tokyo to the 
 remarkable love between a married couple during the 1921 Tulsa race riots, 
 each filmmaker delivers a universal yet deeply individual slice of life.   
 - Linda Charmaraman, curator     Saturday March 13   6:30 The Liberation of 
 Everyday Life    The journey to find one's purpose and confront its 
 consequences is magnified and electrified in tonight's array of shorts.  
 Film subjects include an idealistic woman who loses  tolerance for her 
 banal corporate existence in The Liberation of Everyday Life (Juli Kang),  
 an attempt to listen between the lines of the late June Jordan's poems of 
 resistance in the experimental California Telephone (Haruko Tanaka), and  
 the double-edged sword of leaving an abusive marriage in Against My Will 
 (Ayfer Ergun, Pakistan 2000).    Also included:  Passing (Karen Earl, 
 Canada, 7 mins); Barely Audible (Chinaka Hodge, Vivian Wenli LIn, Katherine 
 Copeland, Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi, 2002, 3 mins); War on Iraq: Casualties of 
 American Empire (Regan Kruse, Bianca Darville, Monica Galindo Heim, 
 Cristina Lee, Tim Tsai, 20 mins)  Total running time: 100 mins plus 
 discussion  9:00 Ways of Love   This collection of shorts illuminates love 
 in its many expressions. Wenhwa Ts'ao's lyrical Exercise with Chin Yung (8 
 mins) depicts the filmmaker's struggles as the daughter of an old-fashioned 
 Chinese father. Ohm-Ma (Ruthann Lee, 2002, 5.5 mins) is an intimate video- 
 letter by a queer artist.  The filmmaker's affection for her subjects is 
 evident in the beautiful documentary Love in an Elevator (Thea St. Omer, 
 2002, 17 mins, B&W, 16mm), a love story of a couple in their eighties.   
 Also screening:  Exercise with Chin Yung (Wenhwa Ts'ao, 8 mins); Bessie's 
 Blues (Marsha Battee, 8 mins), One Week Wake (Tammy Apana, 2001). Total 
 running time: 95 mins plus discussion  Filmmaker discussion will follow 
 each program.  \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/03/03/32583.php
