CUNextTuesday is a new radical womyn's media collective in the Bay Area. It has been hosting monthly film screenings to benefit a host of projects, specifically a documentary on radical womyn in the 21st century and the evolution of the feminist movement in the U.S. For the month of August, CUNextTuesday will be screening "LIVE NUDE GIRLS UNITE! at the Artists' Television Access on Valencia Street in the Mission. Director Julia Query will be on hand to discuss the film that launched a movement. The story follows a group of women at the local Bay Area peep show, the Lusty Lady, as they attempt to overcome union-busting and engrained stereotypes, becoming the first and only unionized exotic dancer's establishment in the U.S. There will be discussion after the film, so bring some popcorn and a friend!

The screening comes on the heels of Ladyfest Bay Area 2004, a non profit, feminist, community-based collaborative festival of empowering workshops, forums, art showings, and events held by and for self-identified women and transfolk organized by pro-women volunteers. This year's panels and DIY workshops included topics as wide-ranging as female ejaculation, micro-radio broadcasting, trans-activism, cycling and indie publishing. CUNextTuesday hosted a workshop on Sunday, August 1st. Ladeez were encouraged to come out and make their very own video retorts to the corporate image manipulators-- organizers planned to send those videos to the men and women who control the female body propaganda machine. Indybay's Sarah Olson presented a workshop about feminist micro-radio on Saturday, July 30th.
