Dearest QWOCMAP Community, 

What is your definition of magic?  Does it involve disappearing bunnies and
shiny top hats?  The 7th annual Queer Women of Color Film Festival creates a
different sort of magic when our multiple communities come together.

FESTIVAL FOCUS: Igniting the Intersections

Saturday, June 11

Color sets afire crossroads of identity and issues to build a blistering
amalgam of truth, love and justice.

PANEL DISCUSSION

3:30 PM 
>From simmering memories that threaten to explode, to the adjoining paths of
culture and sexual identity, to incensed confrontations against street
harassment, these films draw on the fire of our communities to forge our
collective survival.

>From the sultry lacing of Femme identity and voluptuous proportions, to the
scorching juncture where jazz talent converges with gender expectations, to
the fiery combination of joy and healing for transmen of color, these films
reflect the blistering fusion of glitter, passion and resilience that our
communities of color have always embodied.
