Content: This Emmy-nominated documentary is a hilarious portrait of an extraordinary, ordinary grandmother and a touching account of her grandson's search for his place in the world. Whether taking daily excursions to the grocery store to return under-ripe produce or sharing hard-won wisdom over blintzes on Rosh Hashanah, Lee Abrahams is a woman who lives life on her own terms. For her grandson, a young gay man born to a Jewish mother and Protestant father, 87-year old Bubbeh Lee is a vital link to self and cultural identity, and to unconditional love and acceptance. As the two of them relate feelings of love lost or hidden, kibbitz about strategies for shopping, and avoid meddling matchmakers, the strength of their bond emerges. A spirited reflection aging, identity, alienation and acceptance, this already classic film examines the legacies passed through generations and shows that the journey of self-discovery can begin at any age. "You'll be laughing with disbelief at her chutzpah... Bubbeh Lee not only shows a grandmother giving it straight to her sweet and patient gay grandson, but speaks volumes on identity, generational issues, culture and family." - Southern Voice. "Much more meaningful and lesson-filled than the 'multicultural education' texts being used in most classrooms... a wonderful, touching film that will inspire and encourage viewers to think more deeply about their own roots and how these inform the way they experience the world." - Paul Gorski, School of Education, University of Virginia. "A wonderful film... exemplifies that one is never too young or old to learn or adapt. A great film for programming with diverse communities and for intergenerational studies. An important addition in both public and academic libraries." - Vincent P. Andrzejewski, Audiovisual Manager, St. Louis County Library. "Very warm and touching... a simple treasure." - The Hollywood Reporter. "Warm, intimate and funny!"- TV Guide. "Funny and poignant... a portrait of a complex and rich relationship."- Video Librarian. "You'll be laughing with disbelief at her chutzpah... Bubbeh Lee not only shows a grandmother giving it straight to her sweet and patient gay grandson, but speaks volumes on identity, generational issues, culture and family." - Kimberly Yutani, Southern Voice. "Beautifully made... should be required for every parent and grandparent who has just discovered their gay [grand]son's or daughter's sexual orientation." - John Mandes, Out Front Colorado. "Sensitive and lighthearted... an excellent example of how the closeness of family can break through intolerance and misunderstandings about lesbians and gay men." - Don Romesberg, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. "Enormously funny and poignant... the finely-honed rituals of Jewish eating, matchmaking, and the high art of fruit picking (and return of unwanted produce) are masterfully documented." - Marlene Roberts, The Jewish Journal. "A loving and powerfully moving film." (Four Stars).- Dan Avery, Washington, DC Metro Weekly. "Delightful and enlightening... a moving look at the importance of knowing our family history."- Jay Handelman, Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

"Priceless!... the affection leaps off the screen... a star will be born tonight at age 89!"- Tom Jicha, Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "The joy it brings and the undeniable love it exudes is contagious... Bubbeh touches a chord because she is celebration and remorse, fragility and strength, tenderness and toughness and, mostly, honesty." - Sheila Nevins, Senior Vice-President, HBO. "Skillfully provides a portraiture of a family dynamic... this one is a winner." - Jack Fertig, San Francisco Bay Times. "A fascinating look at a spunky old lady... Bubbeh Lee will leave a lasting impression." - Myrna Rubinstein, TV Host Magazine. "A moving statement... a guaranteed crowd pleaser."- Andrew Alexander, ETC.

Content: On January 13, 1998 Alfredo Ormando, a closeted gay writer from Sicily, shocked the world by lighting himself on fire in St. Peter's Square, the only time such a protest had taken place on Vatican soil. Despite the attempt by some in the gay community to frame the event as the spark of the "Italian Stonewall," Alfredo's gesture quickly faded into obscurity. Shaped by Alfredo's own writings, as well as rich cinematography and provocative interviews with family, friends and intimate companions, the film reveals Alfredo's deep interior longing and struggle. Growing up in the religious and traditional milieu of small-town Sicily, Alfredo sought liberation and self-expression through his copious writings. But the weight of Sicilian values of silence, patriarchy, honor and vengeance pushed him down and gradually extinguished his spirit. Even Alfredo's attempt to redeem himself by joining a monastery was met with a sense of failure. It became more and more clear to Alfredo that there was only one way "out"”only one way to be close to God. Alfredo's eventual fire in St. Peter's Square - a trajectory that seems pre-ordained - becomes a Rashomon like event, as the Church, the press and the gay community scurry to pin meaning on the dramatic and iconic gesture: the act of a madman, misfit, or martyr. In the end, what really is the fire that consumed Alfredo and how deep are its shadows? How can we integrate the inheritance of oppression or repression into a life fully lived? Today, as the Church reels from scandal and ponders new directions, the time is ripe for dialogue aimed at building more open and inclusive institutions of faith, in the hope that no more lives are extinguished by the effects of religious intolerance or the need to hide who we are.

Content: More Americans have been lost to AIDS than in all the U.S. wars since 1900. Yet few know about the National AIDS Memorial Grove, a seven-acre sanctuary hidden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and a testament to lives lost at a time when the stigma of AIDS forced many to grieve in silence. The Grove shows how a community in crisis found healing and remembrance, and how the seeds of a few visionary environmentalists blossomed into something larger than they could have imagined. But the fight to remember takes on an unexpected dimension when stakeholders of the Grove seek broader public recognition through an international design competition, and a heated debate ensues about what constitutes an appropriate memorial for the AIDS pandemic. Thirty years after the first diagnosed cases of AIDS, how do we mark a time of unimaginable loss? And what does it mean to be a national memorial?

Content: A young mother, much loved in her hometown of Mesopotamia, St. Vincent, is brutally shot to death in this poor Caribbean village the day before she is to give court testimony against a man accused of raping her. Circumstances point to the accused rapist as the killer, but he is set free for lack of evidence. The townsfolk and victim's family talk poignantly about their fears and their longing for justice, both vigilante and divine. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," originating in ancient Mesopotamia, takes on modern-day meaning in a forgotten village of the same name.

Content: This powerful documentary follows a unique HIV/AIDS dance group in San Francisco led by pioneering dancer Anna Halprin. It shows a group of men with AIDS or HIV-infection using their condition as a resource for creative expression. The video is a collage of seven months of the group's emotionally-charged workshops, culminating in a poignant performance of a work titled "Carry Me Home." This is a film about creativity and community as healing forces. It captures the brotherhood, the hope, the laughter and the tears of the dancers as they gather weekly to shape a dance of their stories. Positive Motion shows how dance can be therapeutic to the dancer, whose body becomes a storyteller conveying a new-found expression of health. It demonstrates how this form of theatre and therapy enables individuals alienated from themselves and their community to rediscover both their bodies and their brotherhood.

The definitive record of the Lyme controversy, Under Our Skin exposes a hidden story of medical and scientific malfeasance and neglect. As official case numbers explode and hundreds of thousands of people around the world go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, the film is as relevant and timely as ever.Lyme disease is a canary in the coal mine and case study for what's poisonous in both our environment and our science.  At the epicenter a tiny microbe looms, providing a powerful symbol for an issue that is hidden and lurking"”so small yet immense, so real but unrecognized.  What has gotten under our skin is not just a microorganism, but a lethal system which has abandoned some of the most needy and threatens us all.  Our own human skin is a microcosm of the earth, and the extent to which the earth's body is out of balance, so is our own."I want to show the horror of an illness and an ill system that too long has been ignored. But I also want to show the human and natural beauty right next to it. Sometimes indistinguishable, the beauty and horror are intertwined.  If Under Our Skin merely perpetuates the idea that the natural world is perilous, or that human nature is corrupt, we miss out on the beauty that surrounds us.  On the other hand, if we are lulled by convention and don't look beneath the surface, we risk infection by the equally dangerous maladies of ignorance and indifference." - Andy Abrahams Wilson, Director Reviews "Like a well-made thriller, gets under your skin"¦more deeply terrifying than any slasher film you'll ever see." - Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post"Heart-rending...scary enough to make the faint of heart decide never to venture into the woods." - Stephen Holden, New York Times"Takes what seems to be a straightforward subject...and turns it into a detective story, a romance, an inspirational drama, a conspiracy thriller and a science lesson, all in one." - David Bianculli, TVWorthWatching.com"The visual beauty of the film underlies its most haunting theme. The closer humans get to nature, the more sensitive they must become to its hidden dangers. UNDER OUR SKIN details a medical nightmare. The movie only looks like a sun-kissed dream." - Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun"Enthralling and powerful...should bring the arguments surrounding chronic Lyme disease to a wider international audience." - Julian Upton, The LancetAwardsSemifinalist, Academy Awards, Best Documentary FeatureFinalist, Audience Choice Award, Tribeca Film Festival (World Premiere)Winner, Best of Festival, Fargo Film FestivalWinner, Best Documentaries of 2010, Video LibrarianWinner, Best Documentary, Houston International Film FestivalWinner, Best Documentary, Sonoma International Film FestivalWinner, Audience Favorite, Durango Independent Film FestivalWinner, Best Documentary, Okanagan (Canada) International Film FestivalWinner, Best Documentary, Camden International Film FestivalWinner, Best Picture Silver Award, International Health Film Festival (Greece)Winner, Best in Health and Science, CINE Golden Eagle AwardsWinner, Best in Infectious Diseases, International Health and Medical Media Awards
