Throughout the 70s and 80s, Audre Lorde’s incisive writings and speeches defined and inspired the women of color, feminist and LGBT social justice movements in the United States.AUDRE LORDE - THE BERLIN YEARS 1984 TO 1992 explores a little-known chapter of the writer’s prolific life, a period in which she helped ignite the Afro-German Movement and made lasting contributions to the German political and cultural scene before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German reunification.Lorde mentored and encouraged Black German women to write and publish as a way of asserting their identities, rights and culture in a society that isolated and silenced them, while challenging white German women to acknowledge their white privilege. As Lorde wrote in her book Our Dead Behind Us: Poems, “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”Special features include footage of Audre Lorde in Berlin, Audre reading her poems, Audre on her work, deleted scenes, trailer, interview with filmmaker Dagmar Schultz and English, Spanish, German and French subtitles.AUDRE LORDE - THE BERLIN YEARS 1984 TO 1992 contains previously unreleased audiovisual material from director Dagmar Schultz’s personal archive, showing Lorde on and off stage. With testimony from Lorde's colleagues, students and friends, this film documents Lorde's lasting legacy in Germany.

A short documentary film about pre-partum depression, its symptoms, and the difficulties it poses when a woman is going through extreme physical and emotional changes.The film reflects on the constructed image of the pregnant woman in Western society, and on the expectations placed on women at a time when they are undergoing an extreme physical and emotional transformation. It challenges the prevalent idea that pregnancy is an antidote to depression in women, and that symptoms of depression tend to occur only after birth, as postpartum depression.Before David aims to create awareness and start a conversation about women’s mental health during pregnancy, and about the dangers of antenatal depression for women and their newborns.

An epic portrait of the eloquent, award-winning Black, lesbian, poet, mother, teacher and activist, Audre Lorde, whose writings -- spanning five decades -- articulated some of the most important social and political visions of the century. From Lorde's childhood roots in NYC's Harlem to her battle with breast cancer, this moving film explores a life and a body of work that embodied the connections between the Civil Rights movement, the Women's movement, and the struggle for lesbian and gay rights. At the heart of this documentary is Lorde's own challenge to ""envision what has not been and work with every fiber of who we are to make the reality and pursuit of that vision irresistible.

It probes the relevance of the concept of Negritude against the views of its many critics, not only to the decolonization and independence movements of the 1950s and 1960s but also to an understanding of the contemporary artistic and political scenes of nationalism, religious intolerance, multiculturalism, the exodus of Africans and other populations from the South, and xenophobic immigration policies in the West.

Through found photographs, audiotaped interviews and archival footage, ANOTHER BROTHER tells the story of Vietnam veteran Clarence Fitch. Clarence Fitch was a man of and for his times, an African American who witnessed and took part in the social movements of this country from the turmoil of the sixties through the present decade. Telling a story fraught with both heroism and tragedy, the film situates Vietnam vet Clarence Fitch's life within the context of a remarkable range of issues--racism, the Black civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and its aftermath, the scourge of drugs, and finally the AIDS crisis. ANOTHER BROTHER both honors Clarence Fitch and digs deeply into the roots of his struggles. Clarence grew up in New Jersey, in a close-knit working class family. He was 18 in 1967 when the Marines put him on the front lines of jungle warfare in Vietnam - a horror compounded by the racist attitudes and policy that increasingly colored his military experience. When he came home, Clarence fit the profile of many returning vets: angry, alienated, anti-war, and addicted to heroin. But Clarence fought back. Despite his addiction, he held a post office job for 12 years and became a leader in his union. He was extremely active in the organization Vietnam Veterans Against the War and, at every opportunity, stood up against racism, whether in South Africa against apartheid, or at home. After years of leading a double-life, Clarence found the strength to end his addiction and worked tirelessly to help other recovering addicts. After six years of sobriety, he was diagnosed with AIDS. Once again, Clarence found the inner strength to rise above his own personal crisis. He spent the last years of his life working on behalf of people with AIDS, among his other commitments. Clarence Fitch was a hero when he died in 1990 at the age of 42 - not because he had been decorated with the Purple Heart for his combat in Vietnam, but because he transformed his life and the lives of thousands of others. ANOTHER BROTHER was five years in the making by Tami Gold. She relied on the detailed archives of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, as well as other organizations around the country that donated rare film and video footage from the Vietnam era and Clarence's activities. Much of the soundtrack consists of Clarence's own voice from an audio interview conducted by a fellow Vietnam veteran, William Short. Clarence's wife, mother, sister, daughter and best friend are featured prominently in family photos, home movies, and in frank on-screen comments about a complicated man who matured into a reknowned community activist.

This is an experimental documentary chronicling the March 1995 groundbreaking conference on lesbian and gay sexualities in the African diaspora. The conference brought together an array of dynamic scholars, activists, and cultural workers including Essex Hemphill, Kobena Mercer, Barbara Smith, Urvashi Vaid, and Jacqui Alexander to interrogate the economic, political, and social situations of diasporic lesbians, gay men, bisexual, and transgender peoples. The video brings together the highlights of the conference and draws connections between popular culture and contemporary black gay media production. The participants discuss various topics: Black and queer identity, the shortcomings of Black nationalism, and homophobia in Black communities. Drawing upon works such as Isaac Julien's "The Attendant" and Jocelyn Taylor's "Bodily Functions," this documentary illuminates the importance of this historic conference for Black lesbians and gays.
