The Queer/Violence tour with Eric Stanley and Chris Vargas is a mixed media extravaganza. The presentation will open with a short artist talk about both the state of current queer cinema and also the larger state of queer politics. The connection between HIV/AIDS, trans and queer violence, the prison industrial complex and the politics of assimilation in the dominant GLBT moment serve as the provocative place of departure the film makers stage for the audience. The screening is comprised of the Portrait of Bonnie (2006 Jason Fritz) , By Any Means Necessary (1994 james Wentsiy), and Homotopia(2006 Chris Vargas, Eric Stanley).
