CALLING FOR FILM SUBMISSIONS
from Queer Women of Color Filmmakers for
“LOVING IN THE WAR YEARS”
3rd annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival
As queer women of color, loving each other is a
political act. Not just in the act of love, but in the
ways that we take up our positions and fight as
warriors for our revolution. Our cameras act as
swords – as we give image to a way of loving,
being, and engaging with each other that allows
for us to all be human.
This year’s theme “Loving in the War Years,” a
reference to Cherríe Moraga’s collection of writings,
is an invitation to think about issues of war, love,
resistance through the lens of the camera.
“… But immediately I understand that we must, at
all costs, remain with each other. Even unto death.
That it is our being together that makes the pain,
even our dying, human.”
~ Loving in the War Years: lo que nunca pasó por
sus labios, Cherríe Moraga (1983).
What wars? Transnational wars, wars for power, oil,
land and resources, drug wars, wars on “terrorism,”
wars on people’s movement throughout the world,
wars within and against our bodies, wars in our
communities, the war on immigrants, queer people,
homeless people, people of color in general and
youth of color in particular. As queer women of color,
what wars are we seeing and what are our
responses? How do we continue to love, how
MUST we continue to love, and sustain ourselves,
throughout these war years?
“Loving in the War Years” will screen as part of the
3rd annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival to be
held in June 2007 at Brava Theatre in San Francisco.
Mission: Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project
(QWOCMAP) promotes the creation and exhibition of
films and videos that increase the visibility of queer
women of color, reflect our life stories, and address
the vital social justice issues that concern our
community.
