NO MORE LIES a portrait of a filmmaker by Sam Feder
This experimental documentary short viscerally depicts mainstream media’s definition of transfolks.
This evening includes the classic documentary OUT AT WORK by Kelly Anderson and Tami Gold
A cook at an Atlanta restaurant was fired for “failing to demonstrate normal heterosexual values.” She was shocked to discover
that in more than 40 American states it was legal to fire workers simply because of their sexual orientation. This film tells the
stories of three queer workers as they struggle for job security and benefits.
“A close-up of how deeply feelings against homosexuals can still reach and how vicious they can be.” The New York Times
