4. Visionär Film Festival
This year Visionรคr will pay homage to ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐น ๐๐๐ป๐๐ฒ, a world-renowned African American director, writer, and actress who emerged as part of the โQueer New Waveโ of young filmmakers in the early 1990s.
Visionรคr will present her first feature film, ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง, that won the Teddy Award for Best Feature at the 1996 Berlin International Film Festival.
Set in Philadelphia, The Watermelon Woman is the story of Cheryl (Cheryl Dunye), a twenty-something black lesbian struggling to make a documentary about Fae Richards, a beautiful and elusive 1930s black film actress popularly known as "The Watermelon Woman."
The Watermelon Woman is clearly a metaphor for Cheryl's search for identity, community, and love.
