Documenting the landmark 1995 conference on lesbian and gay sexualities in the African diaspora, Shari Frilot’s seminal film captures a charged gathering of scholars, artists, and activists in dialogue. Through the voices of Essex Hemphill, Urvashi Vaid, Isaac Julien, and M. Jacqui Alexander and others, it crystallises a pivotal moment in diasporic queer history – interrogating Black and queer identity, media production, homophobia, and the contested terrain of Black nationalism.

A kilted warrior crowns the New York skyline in this joyous tribute to Jesse Rae, a musician from the Scottish Borders who plugged into the electric current of Parliament-Funkadelic. From bringing 80s NYC to a standstill atop the Brooklyn Bridge to shaping seminal hits like Inside Out, Rae fused tartan swagger with transatlantic groove to craft a mythic, pluralist vision of Scotland in the key of funk!
