THE HERETICS
USA 2009 - 91 minutes,
by Joan Braderman

In 1971, Joan Braderman went to NYC to pursue her dream of becoming a film director and joined the feminist art collective known as The Heresies. THE HERETICS uncovers the inside story of the 2nd Wave of the Women's movement during this period and is Braderman's first person account of the collective from the inside out. Fascinating, well-paced, well-filmed documentary of important times. The film focuses on The Heresies Collective as a microcosm of the larger international women's movement, in which thousands of small private groups of women met together in forms unique to their own settings, to consider their situation - as women in a man's world - and to devise strategies for unlocking the potential in women's lives.

Lesbian Shorts + Feature Film

SUPER - Canada 2008 - 2 min
by Shawna Dempsy and Lorri Millan (Finger In The Dyke Productions)

What would a feminist superhero look like? Could she leap tall buildings in a single bound? Could she bend steel with her bare hands? What would her name be? And would anyone remember it? Commissioned by MAWA's Art Building Community Symposium, performance artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan have created an aging superhero with unusual powers.

DOOR PRIZE - USA 2009 7 min
Directed by Zsa Zsa Gershick

We are proud to present Door Prize (screened in Toronto, Hamburg, and San Francisco) in Vancouver. A restaurant, a necktie; a line for the Ladies Room… Peeing should never be so problematic. Door Prize is a humorous, delightful story that teaches us to never judge a book by its cover.

I AM WHO I AM (music video) - Canada, 2009 - 3:40
Directed by Andrew Martin-Smith

I Am Who I Am won the ride In The Arts' 2009 Pride Song. Hear it and see it and revel in Queer Pride.

THE AMAZING AMAZONS - Canada, 2004 - 23 min
Written and Directed by Anna Malkin

The Amazing Amazons is a campy combo of live action and animation. It's the queer comic book episode that never happened when you were a kid. Filled with chills, thrills and love only fit for an Amazon!

Cagney & Lacey, "Bang, Bang, You're Dead." - USA 1982 - 60 min


The very first episode starring Meg Foster as Christine Cagney. Foster was in the first 6 episodes of the series before she was replaced by Sharon Gless. TV executives though Meg was too dykey!

Nobody was BOLDer in the 80's than our favorite dynamic duo Cagney & Lacey. Those badge carrying, gun-toting heroines were the first females to team up and catch the bad guys; forging new ground for women and creating a super duo that would run on television from 1982-1988.

Join in the fun, hoot and holler while we celebrate our super heroes Cagney & Lacey.
