KEY WEST, CITY OF COLORS
Dir. Talmadge Heyward
(USA, 2005, 64 min)
On this amazing island only 90 miles from Cuba, this very diverse community celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Rainbow Flag by stretching the longest Rainbow Flag in history -- 8000 feet in all —from one end of the island to the other.
This film is as unique as the city of Key West. In what is a recurring theme in Key West, a group of local citizens saw a vision and came together to finance this project. Not with an eye towards profit, but because they felt Key West had a story to tell. All proceeds from this film go towards the building of a gay and lesbian community center and visitors center.

TRANSPARENT
Dir. Jules Rosskam
(USA, 2005, 61 min)
Explores family, parenting, and gender identity through the extraordinary stories of transsexual parents. This feature documentary gives voice to a group of female-to-male transsexuals living in the United States who have given birth and, in all but a few stories, gone on to raise their biological children. The film reveals the diverse ways in which each participant reconciles with giving birth and being a biological mother with a masculine identity. The first-person accounts also explain how gender transition affects the relationships of families, the community, and the children involved.
