but speaking of films I loved...

...well, I was over in the comments on a previous post, but I have to give props to the San Francisco Black Film Festival. It takes place each June just before Frameline, the larger and better publicized gay and lesbian film festival here in the city, but I've seen some terrific films at SFBFF, especially this year's short The Pretty Boy Project. Loved it.

Another film I saw at SFBFF which was terrific was No!, a documentary about the rape and sexual assault of black women and girls by black men and boys. I saw it years ago but I think at the time the director, Aishah Shahidah Simmons, was still struggling with financing so the recently completed final version is no doubt somewhat different. Powerful stuff.

MORE FOLKS NEED TO PATRONIZE THIS FILM FESTIVAL.
