North Starr

With his best friend brutally murdered and his hometown of Houston no longer safe, a young African-American man (Jerome Hawkins) hits the road. He ends up in a small town called Trublin, a bigoted backwater where the locals don't take kindly to people like him. Fortunately, he's befriended by a stranger, who takes him in and helps him adapt to this unwelcoming place.

NOT STILL

NOT STILL forms an abstract visual landscape in shades of monochrome colors, from green to red, in which found footage on celluloid flares up like a quotation from the nether world. Alienated classical film scores howl in NOT STILLs minimalist techno soundscape, overlapping with the main motif of the record in all of its varied visual structures. VJ Roisz mistreats this just as uninhibitedly as the DJ mistreats his records. Roisz shows brief shots of film macros, tracks of animated films and a horror movie, to then unexpectedly have the leaping picture strip swallow them again. As though in a séance in all degrees of its intensity, flaring up are scraps of memory of a pop culture media history. NOT STILL enacts a clash of media in gruesome disquiet and poetic ambiance.

Not Straight Forward

Jenny Ting follows bon-vivant Tan Vo on ten dates with ten Seattle women. Get up-close and personal with Tan, a self-proclaimed butch virgin, as she turns on the charm for a variety of gals-taking them to restaurants, going for long walks on the beach, and even bringing them back to her apartment. Almost a primer for lesbian dating, this film reveals how different women interact on first dates: they talk about their goals and desires, the characteristics that are important to them in potential girlfriends and all the important details about sex. The viewer gets to be a fly on the wall, with full access to these dates and their intimate discussions, while being challenged to confront your own preconceived notions and misconceptions about lesbians and lesbian dating. This movie expresses what it means to be a lesbian who's part of a proud, diverse community with people who have so much to say and give to the world, even if at times it doesn't appear the world is willing to accept them.
