Films concerning AIDS in Asian/Pacific Communities
Bolo Bolo Producers: Gita Saxen and Ian Rashid, in conjunction with the Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention and Toronto Living With AIDS 1991, 30 MINUTES Focusing on the South Asian community of Toronto, this video is a constructuve tool for facilitators, educators, community workers and anyone interested in organizing around issues of health, sexuality, and cultural identity. Flowing Hearts: Thailand Fights AIDS John Goss, Director 1992 : Thailand/USA : 32 minutes : GLBO : The White Line Dance Troupe uses Thai and modern dance to enact AIDS awareness. Thai gay/AIDS activists are interviewed. Kore Tran T. Kim-Trang, Director 1994, Video 17 min., color, US The third tape in Tran's Blindness Series investigates the conjunction of sexuality with the eye as purveyor of desire and the sexual fear and fantasy of blindness, with a focus on the blindfold, women and AIDS. An elegant, challenging, sexy work with deftly-juxtaposed visual and audio elements. Out in Silence & Not a Simple Story Christine Choy, Director 1994, 37 minutes These poignant films tell the stories of two Asian Pacific Americans: one straight and one gay, Robyn Tirrell, a resident of Hawai'i, and Vince Crisostomo, a native of Guam and resident of San Francisco. Both have lost loved ones to AIDS. In two films, they have chosen to disclose their own HIV-positive status to remedy the lack of information and denial about AIDS in their communities. With courage, determination, and a sense of privacy, they and their families and friends step out of their private lives and publicly challenge the myth that Asian Americans do not get AIDS.Acknowledgements
