How Do I Look?: Queer Film and VideoNonfiction. "HOW DO I LOOK? is an articulation of that dream in the dark we've all had-gazing at those flickering images, searching for ourselves and too often settling for less. This collection begins to ask the provocative questions we dared not ask aloud. As lesbians and gays, as people of color, whose vision will we accept? The questions here are full of pain and clarity"-Jewelle Gomez. |
