Queer Women of Color Film Festival Seeks Submissions
San Francisco, June 13-15, 2008
The Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project is seeking short films and videos by queer women of color for the series "Sexily Subversive," to screen at the 4th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival, held at the Brava Theater, San Francisco, June 13-15, 2008.
"From roller-skating divas who rob banks to fund the revolution to a Butch/Femme romance that heats up by the taco trucks in a working class town to a dog following a trail of deception and desire in a Catholic family, we seek films that show queer women of color in all of our sexy glory and at our most glamorously subversive."
Check out last year's program, or read on for more information on how to submit a film.

CALLING FOR FILM SUBMISSIONS
from Queer Women of Color Filmmakers for
"SEXILY SUBVERSIVE"
4th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival
Does the lack of images of queer women of color leave you feeling tired and depressed? The Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP) has a sexily subversive cure that really works!
"Sexily Subversive" will screen as part of the 4th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival, presented by QWOCMAP to be held at the Brava Theater, San Francisco, June 13-15, 2008.
We invite you to submit your short films/videos. From roller-skating divas who rob banks to fund
the revolution to a Butch/Femme romance that heats up by the taco trucks in a working class town to a dog following a trail of deception and desire in a Catholic family, we seek films that show queer women of color in all of our sexy glory and at our most glamorously subversive.
Our free 3-day Queer Women of Color Film Festival is a place where queer women of color can be true to the cultural expressions of our passions and values. When we share our films with other queer women of color, we give our communities multi-layered, honest and gorgeous images of our lives. It’s a powerful antidote to the Straight White Male Media Arts Project, aka Hollywood.
