or non-fiction."

Finding self-empowerment through self-representation, SHE’S
A BOY I KNEW is a comic, heartbreaking, and uplifting

SEEING
RED is the latest work from veteran avant-garde filmmaker
Su Friedrich. In this, one of her most deeply personal films
to date, Friedrich takes a look back at her evolution both as
a woman and as an artist, tackling her own insecurities via
several on-camera diary entries. While Seeing Red is a film
about the existential crises of the individual, it is also a
film about what unites all humanity and what unites humanity
with all the matter surrounding us. |

PILLS
PROFITS PROTEST: CHRONICLE OF THE GLOBAL AIDS MOVEMENT is
a passionate and timely documentary about AIDS treatment activism.
The movement for access to AIDS treatment is, at heart, a highly
personal battle being led by individuals who are motivated by

process, change the world. Weaving together the perspectives
and experiences of activists from Durban to Delhi, from Botswana
to Bahia, from Philadelphia to Port-Au-Prince, a collective
voice, rooted in local struggles, emerges. |
