QUEERTACTICS Film Festival: Jewelle: A Just Vision
In the course of researching the programme for a film festival, it is a particular pleasure to encounter films that bear witness to a necessity.
JEWELLE: A JUST VISION is such a film, a film that had to be made, a film that had to be shown because it is about the struggle of a woman without whom queer_feminist history would be infinitely poorer: Jewelle Gomez, Black American writer, critic and activist, 'grandmother of Afrofuturism' and much more, who in the course of her writing career began to deal more and more with the indigenous history of her family.
Thank you, Queer Women of Colour Media Arts Project San Francisco, for making this film possible, thank you Madeleine Lim, but above all: thank you, Jewelle Gomez!
