(Documentary directed by Marlon Riggs/1990/55mins.)
Marlon Riggs`s portrayal of homophobia and racism caused controversy during Tongues Untied`’s original 1991 airing on PBS`s P.O.V. series and contributed to the national debate about the National Endowment for the Arts funding for art with nudity, gay themes, and pointed political commentary. Riggs`s stories are fierce examples of homophobia and racism. The stories also affirm the black gay male experience.

MARTÍ AND I
(Directed by Juan Carlos Zaldivar/2009/9mins.)
Despite being the greatest political and literary figure that Cuba has ever produced, José Martí is mostly known in the U.S. for writing the lyrics to the popular song “Guantanamera.” Martí and I presents a new, daring interpretation of this historical icon, which draws from his contemporary literary and art movements, the Symbolists and the Decadents.
