In 1993, Alex shoots an interview with her best friend Jim as he tries to recount his life as he is dying. In 2004, she re-works this haunted video, playing it in real-time but letting bleed in a host of present day interviewees who also reflect upon AIDS, death, activism, and video. What remains is this woman's contemplative, loving memorial to one gay man lost to AIDS that also marks what changes and lasts after death, across time, and because of videotape.
Director
A documentary structured around private and poetic letters to her son from the feminist activist filmmaker, Alexandra Juhasz. The film shows the present situation of the director and five of her friends who went to university together. The women, who shared a set of values and a common faith under the feminist political umbrella, now live their own lives with their own families. Each of them struggles to define ‘family values’ in her own words, free from traditional heterosexuality, femininity, and religion.

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.
