Women of Vision
Self
Documentary that highlights 18 women and covers a period of time from the 50's to the 90's.

They are black, white, Puerto Rican, Yugoslavian, Asian American, biracial. They are straight, gay and bisexual.

Brincando el charco: Portrait of a Puerto Rican
Claudia
Contemplates the notion of "identity" through the experiences of a Puerto Rican woman living in the US. In a wonderful mix of fiction, archival footage, processed interviews and soap opera drama, the film tells the story of Claudia Marin, a middle-class, light-skinned, lesbian Puerto Rican photographer / videographer who is attempting to construct a sense of community in the US. Confronting the simultaneity of both her privilege and her oppression, this experimental narrative becomes a meditation on class, race, and sexuality as shifting differences.
