Rocking the Cradle: Gay Parenting

Rocking the Cradle: Gay Parenting

2007 • 38 min
Prior to the 1960s, the idea of same-sex parenting had yet to reach the consciousness of most Americans. The majority of gays and lesbians did not even consider parenting, fearing the stigma their children might face. By 2000, however, the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that a full one-third of lesbian couples and roughly a quarter of gay male couples had opted to become parents. This program captures six gay/lesbian families in their day-to-day lives. Two of these families are families by adoption, two are co-parenting families, and two are lesbian families by insemination. Man-on-the-street interviews as well as emotional testimonials from the 15 adults and 11 children featured in this film provide a range of perspectives on gay parenting.
David Bowie - The Plastic Soul Review

David Bowie - The Plastic Soul Review

2007 • 60 min
There were 3 distinct periods in the life of David Bowie during the 1970s. The first of course consisted of his Glam years, defined best by the startling Ziggy Stardust album. At the other end of the decade came the Berlin trilogy three dark, industrial yet ambient and often joyous works. But sandwiched between these is what has come to be known via the man's own comments as the Plastic Soul Era, an era just as creative, magnificent and popular as any other during Bowie s career, yet one rarely considered as a stand alone and separate entity within his complete body of work.

Les Avatars de Vénus

Les Avatars de Vénus

2007 • 40 min • France
The process leading to the making of the film-installation Les Avatars de Vénus goes back thirty years to the thousands of images I began picking up - from news stands, bookshops, libraries, museums, flea markets as I travelled around the world, drawing, photographing, analyzing, filming and remembering what I saw. Finally, I collected a giant image–bank of different incarnations of Venus spreading across time and space, coming from all continents, all civilizations, all epochs, respecting the logic of each one of them, regardless of the arbitrary ideological hierarchy established by academicians between High Art and Low Art. I chose to mix art history and popular imagery, Renaissance iconography and commercial advertisements, religious propaganda and common pornographic icons, movie stars and classical as well as non-occidental sculpture, all fetishes being complementary.

Transvestites Also Cry

Transvestites Also Cry

2007 • 55 min
Paris. In a small side street, seconds away from the Place the Clichy, two dirty and dingy hotels face one another. Behind their facades, the lives of marginal transsexuals from Ecuador take place. They all work as prostitutes in the Bois de Boulogne. Among them, we meet "Mujeron", (the "Big Woman", in Spanish), a former boxer who chose prostitution and a solitary life in order to survive and help his family back home. We also meet the exuberant and ironic "Romina", who seems to have made her dreams come true thanks to prostitution: a woman's body, a housewife's routine, a small flat and some money. Two parallel existences that are apparently poles apart but will in fact unite in one tragic ending. Both light-hearted and tragic, switching from flirtatiousness to misery, from optimism to fatalism, the story of Romina and Mia balances between joyful complicity and solitary distress.

Je suis homo et alors?

2007 • 45 min
What is the origin of homosexuality? Are we born gay or do we become gay? Why does the very fact of asking the question provoke so much debate? Ted Anspach investigated in Europe and the United States. On December 7, 2004, Christian Vanneste, a UMP deputy, caused a scandal in the National Assembly by making homophobic remarks. Despite his recent condemnation, he reiterates here: "Homosexuality is a threat (...) Parents should be offered treatment when homosexual tendencies are detected in their child." To these unacceptable remarks this film opposes the very personal testimonies of homosexuals. There is Skander, a Frenchman of North African origin, who explains how he felt gay from a very young age, despite family pressure. And also Monique and Isabelle, a lesbian couple who "revealed themselves" after many years of heterosexual life.The investigation continues in the United States, where the debate on the origin of homosexuality is raging.

Warm Objects

Warm Objects

2007 • 6 min
Utilizing heat sensing imaging technology, scenes of everyday incidents of the city are transformed into glimpses of our world through an alien lens. Two insertions of on-screen text betray Ahwesh's ominous implications. The first is a meditation on Rudyard Kipling's oft-quoted "Truth is the first casualty of war," while the second takes the form of a hastily crafted e-mail, suggesting that its author has become withdrawn and pessimistic out of fear of some pending disaster. Originally made in response to the political climate of the Iraq War, Warm Objects remains a relevant portrait of the world in uncertain and paranoid times.
