CALLING FOR FILM SUBMISSIONS
from Queer Women of Color Filmmakers for

"SEXILY SUBVERSIVE"
4th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival

Does the lack of images of queer women of color
leave you feeling tired and depressed? The Queer
Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP)
has a sexily subversive cure that really works!

"Sexily Subversive" will screen as part of the
4th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival,
presented by QWOCMAP to be held at the Brava
Theater, San Francisco, June 13-15, 2008.

We invite you to submit your short films/videos.
From roller-skating divas who rob banks to fund
the revolution to a Butch/Femme romance that
heats up by the taco trucks in a working class town
to a dog following a trail of deception and desire
in a Catholic family, we seek films that show queer
women of color in all of our sexy glory and at our
most glamorously subversive.

Our free 3-day Queer Women of Color Film Festival
is a place where queer women of color can be true
to the cultural expressions of our passions and
values. When we share our films with other queer
women of color, we give our communities multi-
layered, honest and gorgeous images of our lives.
It's a powerful antidote to the Straight White Male
Media Arts Project, aka Hollywood.
