A rare depiction of working class Italian-Americans from a woman’s point of view: Penny Arcade’s hilarious and heartbreaking portrayal of the clash between working class morals and compassion during the 1980s AIDS epidemic
- Stick It In Me! (You Are Entering Jayne County )
Dean Lance's documentary portrait of transgendered punk rock legend Jayne (formerly Wayne) County traces her roots growing up in rural Georgia and eventual "escape" to New York, involvement with early experimental theater, Warhol Superstars, the infamous back room at Max's Kansas City (where she DJ'ed), her role as a pioneer of glitter and glam rock and in the initiation of Punk at CBGB's, through recent live performances where she continues to excite audiences asking the question – both musically and literally: "Are you man enough to be a woman?"

(The Music of Chris Rael)
A kaleidoscope of performance video and creative montages, starring Chris Rael’s Indo-pop band Church of Betty in a dazzling array of formats and settings, from rock band to chamber ensemble to world pop orchestra with belly dancers.
