Ladyfest Bay Area Film & Video Festival, Program 1
“The Flesh Connection” brings together eleven short films about the body, both as a site of social/economic struggle, and a medium through which we live out our dreams and fantasies. From animated criticisms of reproductive economics (Amy Hicks” Hatching Beauty, Nina Paley”s Fertco) to examinations of consumption (Kelly Spivey”s Why You Were Born, Mirha-Soleil Ross”s G-Sprout!) to more languid meditations of the female form in dream-space (Kerry Laitala”s The Escapades of Madame X), the range of films in this program asks questions about the scientific, social, and imaginative functions of flesh.

Green Anarchy Film Night
The majority of the content encompased on this tour is from Eugene, an outpost of civilization in one of the most wild bio-regions in “north america.” Eugene experienced the spirit of wild chaos during a couple years of insurrection. In the aftermath, several comrades were imprisoned, several collectives endured, and what remains today is one of the most sophisticated propaganda mills in history. The Green Anarchy Tour is an attempt to take the tools we have refined, the tools of resistance, to a new scale. Tonight, ATA will screen a selection of documentaries from The Green Anarchy Tour.
