An evening of short films created by Two Spirit people offer insight into their lives and their spirituality. Most of the films were created through the Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP). A discussion with the directors follows the screening.
Two Spirits Belonging (2005) 10 min. Filmmaker: Rope Wolf. Spiritual connections abound throughout the Bay Area urban reservation.
Traditional Indigenous Values (2009) 10 min. Filmmaker: Ruth Villasenor. The dissonant frequencies of colonization and Proposition 8 spark new thinking.
Renacimiento de una Bruja (2008) 9 min. Filmmaker: Zemaya. Many years after a Two Spirit Xicana woman raised in the city experiences a spiritual awakening that connects her more deeply with her ancestors, she is guided to live on a country hilltop.
Tuupash (2018) 5 min. Filmmaker: L. Frank Manriquez. NDN song and meaning glow through a looming sky and give birth to resilience.
Cosponsored by Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits (BAAITS).
