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   Sunday March 14   3:00 The Endurance of 
 Spirit   This program offers visions of individuals, communities, and 
 families withstanding calamity-portraits of strength, resilience, and 
 resolution.  In Remember (Proshat Shekarloo, 7 mins), a first-time 
 filmmaker relates personal stories of abuse in her family. Stone Mansion 
 (J. J. Goldberger, 14 mins), a narrative set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the 
 1921 race riot, explores the insurmountable integrity and courage of a 
 black doctor and his wife. Lawan Jirasuradej's Mama Wahunzi (U.S./ 
 Thailand, 2002, 57 mins, From Women Make Movies) profiles three disabled 
 African women who learn to build and supply wheelchairs in Kenya and 
 Uganda. When the Storm Came (Shilpi Gupta, 23.5 mins) documents the 
 residual impact of an alleged mass rape on a community in Kashmir and 
 exposes the frequent use of rape as a weapon of war.  Total running time: 
 101 mins plus discussion  5:30 Truth Has a Perfect Memory   In these short 
 works, women journey inward and outward in their quests for meaning and 
 identity. In Moments in Love: the more you ignore me the closer I get 
 (Donna Golden, 2001, 20 mins) the filmmaker experiments with the horror 
 genre to demonstrate deep-seated cultural biases. In Donna Lee's Enter the 
 Mullet (Canada, 5:30 mins, From Video Out), class, race, and queerness 
 intersect in a farce about an infamous fashion statement. Aarin Burch's 
 Reflections Unseen (26 mins) focuses on eight Bay Area African American 
 women living with HIV to tell a transformative story of healing.  Also
