Homegrown Shorts

Harnessing the talent of local filmmakers, Homegrown Shorts is a unique showcase of the stories that make our city great. Featuring drag artists of all shapes and sizes, the rebirth of the elusive lesbian bar, and activism through art.

In San Francisco, a city known for its queer community and bustling gay nightlife, there hasn't been a lesbian bar for almost a decade. Driven by nostalgia for a time when queer women had spaces, self-identified dyke Malia Spanyol sets out to build one for the next generation of women and femmes.

OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage

33 mins

OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage follows activist-artist Whitney Bradshaw as she travels the post-Roe United States with OUTCRY, a participatory art project in which she leads women in group scream sessions, photographing them mid-scream to create a collective portrait of resistance, motivate political action, and build feminist solidarity through radical empathy.
