Bridge To Truth – film screening and panel discussion
\nSaturday
\nJune 15, 7pm
\nat Brava Theater<\/p>\n
The fertile histories and lush cultures of Southwest Asian, North African\/Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, South Asian communities drown in vilification, yet hope and activism spring up around the world. From candlelit prayer rugs to sweaty nights as a DJ, to feminist waves that carry across the seas, to unheard perspectives on the simmering Syrian revolution, these films honor their stories, resistance and truth. After the screening, filmmakers and activists converge in a panel discussion to address Islamophobia and racism, and bridge LGBTQ human rights, spiritual acceptance and social justice movements.<\/p>\n
The 9th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival is presented by Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP). This organisation promotes the creation, exhibition and distribution of new films and videos that increase the visibility of queer women of color, authentically reflect our life stories, and address the vital social justice issues that concern our communities.
\nThey actively invest in, develop and nurture the creativity of emerging media artists who are Asian\/Pacific Islander, Black\/African American, Chicana\/Latina, Native American and Mixed-Race lesbians, bisexual, queer and questioning women in the Bay Area by runing free video workshops in San Francisco. QWOCMAP began in 2000, and has been training filmmakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
