July 12 to 15 (Wednesday through Saturday)
Rise Above: The Tribe 8 Documentary.
Wed.: 2:00*, 7:15, 9:15 p.m., Thurs.: 7:15 and 9:15 p.m., Fri.: 7:15 and 9:15 p.m., Sat: 2:00*, 4:00, 7:15, and 9:15 p.m..
Rise Above: The Tribe 8 Documentary chronicles San Francisco's most famous Dyke-Punk rock band, Tribe 8. The film captures the intense energy of live performances, as well as candid moments of band members' lives at work and on the road, and the controversy at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival that landed them in a quagmire of protest and praise from a fiercely divided crowd. It also captures the truly funny and warm people behind the music and the politics. The on-stage antics of blow-jobs, sadomasochistic acts and mock castrations are not about shocking the audience for shock's sake, but can be understood on a deeper level through the band members' personal disclosures. The film reveals how the humor and physicality of their controversial performances give these five individuals the peace to experience the rapture of being alive. At the Red Vic, Haight St.

TO SPEAK OF SEX IS TO SPEAK OF POWER... :
statement by SF Dykemarch, 2006:
( Two Thousand and Sex ):
"To speak of sex is to speak of power.
Our society and the systems that support it are mired in a heterosexist, misogynistic worldview
which attempts to strip women of our sexual power.
Dykes experience this first-hand wherever we’re out (or outed).
Women all over the world are denied reproductive and sexual healthcare.... [....]
We speak of sex in 2006 because we must again re-claim publicly that
our bodies and lives belong to ourselves.
We stand together with the strength of articulate dissent, and
refuse to allow others to regulate our bodies or our desires.
We say yes to desire, to sexual need and expression, fierce peace –
yes to owning our power! "
