Cheryl, genç bir siyah lezbiyen, bir video mağazasında gündüz işi yaparken, 1930’larda siyah oyuncuların o dönemde sıkıştırıldığı stereotipik “mammy” rollerini oynayan siyah bir aktris hakkında bir film yapmaya çalışıyor. Bu, bir “açık” siyah lezbiyen tarafından yönetilen ilk uzun metrajlı filmdi.

The Watermelon Woman

Two middle-aged lesbian couples accidentally kill a younger girl and decide to cover it up. But their crime comes back to haunt them when an unexpected stranger appears in their lives, bringing tension and discord.

The Owls

“Hooters!” explores lesbian culture, with humor, insight, and artistry, through the collaborative film making process used in Cheryl Dunye’s new seminal film, “The Owls”.

Hooters!

Documentary that highlights 18 women and covers a period of time from the 50's to the 90's. The women chosen were selected because they represent the real diversity within both feminism and independent film and video. They range in age from 65 to 25. They are black, white, Puerto Rican, Yugoslavian, Asian American, biracial. They are straight, gay and bisexual. What they share is a need to express their own interpretations of what American culture is and could be and a belief that this work is made particularly powerful through the media.
