Self
Reflexivo e bem-humorado, esse filme faz uma retrospectiva sobre a temática homossexual no cinema (principalmente independente) norte-americano e sobre como, ao longo de seis décadas, o tema foi se liberando no cinema. Desde o início, quando o assunto era mostrado como algo proibido ou uma doença, até os dias de hoje, sendo aceito e premiado.

Is Alixe and Gwen's sexual disagreement the cause of their problems, or are their problems the cause of their sexual disagreement? And how should an artist nurture her vision: by seeking adventures on the edge or by staying home and writing poems? What's more real, our fantasies, or what we actually do? In Who's the Top? there are no right answers, just musical numbers.

Paris Is Burning
Paris Is Burning
Director
Documentário filmado em meados dos anos 80 e só finalizado em 1990. "Paris is Burning" é uma crônica sobre a "ball culture" de New York e as minorias culturais que participavam e organizavam este evento: comunidade homossexual latina e afro-americana. Ball Culture foi uma "cena underground" muito específica, onde se misturava desfile de moda com habilidades de dança como o breakstreet, movimentos hieróglifos do Antigo Egito e ginástica olímpica. A enigmática cantora-performer Grace Jones utilizou desta cena para compôr seu estilo.
