Ma Rainey's Lesbian Licks
Featured/Music Videos
Blues diva Ma Rainey composed and performed 'Prove It On Me Blues' in 1928, a song with explicitly lesbian lyrics. ('Went out last night with a bunnch of my friends./They must've been women 'cause I don't like no men.') Blues women, defying Victorian feminine ideals of domesticity and motherhood, presented public personas that were deeply unconventional. They were strong, independent, and unsentimental about the realities of relations between the sexes.

Welcome to the 2008 Northern California Film Festival
Northern California (that geographic area which includes Fresno County northward) is a growing factor in the American film industry. With film centers in Sacrament, San Francisco and the central valley, Northern California has been called Hollywood North and The REEL Hollywood. Hundreds of films are shot here annually, most of which receive little or no recognition in that "other" California.

Here is your chance. This is an opportunity to show what filmmakers from Northern California can do. Rules are simple - THE WRITER, PRODUCER OR DIRECTOR must either reside in Northern California or make their films here (at least 50% of the edited footage from Northern California ._

Selected films will have their chance for BIG SCREEN exposure and possible inclusion on a compilation DVD. Prizes will be awarded to films and filmmakers.

Don't just sit there, show them that we are the REEL Hollywood. Submit your film (30 minutes or less this year). Click the ENTER tab above for a printable entry form.
