 Prey for Rock & Roll
Director Alex Steyermark 2003 USA, 100 min
Distribution by MAC Releasing
Sassy dialogue and superb story telling make
this movie entertaining and unforgettable. It's
a story about Jacki (Gina Gershon, BOUND), a
sexy but aging punk rocker who's the lead singer
of the all-woman rock-and-roll band, Clamdandy.
She packs both attitude and despair in not
having "made it," despite 10 years playing the
L.A. club scene. Band members include bassist
Tracy (Drea de Matteo, HBO's The Sopranos),
lead guitarist Faith (Lori Petty, A League Of
Their Own), and young but talented drummer Sally
(Shelly Cole, "The Princess and the Barrio Boy").
It is a real and sometimes raw portrayal of
women trying to make it in the tough business
of music entertainment.
Brother Outside: the Life
of Bayard Rustin
Directors Nancy Kates & Bennett Singer 2002 USA, 84 min
Winner Audience Award for Best Documentary
at the 27th San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film
Festival.
This stirring documentary combines the story of
a unique American life with a rich and fascinating
chronicle of civil rights struggles in America
in the late twentieth century. Bayard Rustin, a
leader in these struggles, has long dwelt in the
shadow of Martin Luther King, Jr.--partly by his
own design, and partly through the complicity of
activists, politicians, and historians.
