Filmmakers Speak Out Part 2 (AUDIO)

This week I conclude our 2-part series talking to filmmakers at the 28th Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF). First I talked with multi-award-winning director, producer & executive producer Marc Smolowitz who had 2 films at PIFF this year that couldn’t be more different. “Lady Champagne” is a bold, irreverent comedy directed by D’Arcy Drollinger. This feature film embraces camp, absurdity & unapologetic humor, drawing comparisons to classic spoof comedies. Then the documentary “Uncle Roy” traces the remarkable life of skater & photographer Roy Blakey through the eyes of his niece. Next we chatted with filmmaker Keri Pickett who directed “Uncle Roy” that chronicles 9 decades of Roy Blakey’s personal & professional archives. She discovers Blakey’s groundbreaking 1972 book about his legacy as a pioneer of gay photography & when Roy’s health declines Keri cares for him while preserving the stories he kept so carefully guarded. Then we chatted with directors Kade Atwood & Megan Rico about their film “Edie Arnold is a Loser” also written by Rico. This award-winning feature film tells the story of a timid dork Edie accidentally taking the spotlight when she starts a punk band becoming an icon to the rest of the losers at her all-girls Catholic school. “Edie Arnold is a Loser” won Best Film at the Seattle International Film Festival. I concluded our coverage with “100-Years of Schooner Hindu” a Provincetown legacy directed by Angela McNearney about the sailing schooner Hindu which has shaped the wind, water & mariners devoted to her for more than 100 years.

Ghana To Play England In Foxborough

As fans fill Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on June 23rd the National Black Justice Collective (NBJC) released an open letter signed by members of the African diaspora including civil rights allies, advocates & clergy urging Ghana's leadership to reject pending legislation that would criminalize LGBTQ people & those who support them. The letter comes as Ghana continues to position itself as a global leader in the reparations movement through initiatives such as the Year of Return & Beyond the Return while simultaneously advancing legislation that would impose prison sentences on African LGBTQ people, advocates, educators, journalists, healthcare workers & organizations. David J. Johns, CEO & Executive Director, National Black Justice Collective stated, “Ghana has been a global leader in the reparations movement, with an open invitation for the African diaspora to come home & learn its history & ancestry. But a homecoming with conditions is not a homecoming. It is a velvet rope. Anti-LGBTQ+ criminalization is not an African tradition. The reparations movement asks us to confront & dismantle the legacies of colonialism, not deepen them. We write this letter in love & in grief, asking Ghana to extend its invitation fully & without condition, because liberation that excludes some of us is not liberation at all.” The letter argues that the legislation stands in direct contradiction to Ghana's leadership on reparative justice and Pan-African solidarity noting that many of the anti-LGBTQ legal frameworks being expanded today originated under British colonial rule. The National Black Justice Collective is America's leading civil rights org dedicated to the empowerment of LGBTQ people including people living with HIV.

Filmmakers Speak Out In Ptown (AUDIO)

This week I talked to filmmakers at the 28th Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF) in the first installment of this 2-part series. First I talked with visual conceptual artist Jay Critchley who created the PIFF trailer this year with production by Arvid Tomayko. Jay’s performance work & environmental activism have traversed the globe performing in Argentina, Japan, England, Holland, Germany, Colombia & the United States. Jay’s social art practice also includes running the Provincetown Community Compact which works with artists & sponsors the annual Provincetown Harbor Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla that’s celebrating its 39th year on September 12th.

Currently she is working on her first feature film. Then I concluded this segement with director Fergus Campbell & producer Lola Lafia whose feature film “Sparks” was honored with a PIFF John Schlesinger Narrative Special Mention. “Sparks” is a beautifully strange & unexpectedly tender film about identity, friendship & the need to escape as a group of teenagers in Sparks, Nevada attempt time travel exploring an urban legend that a Nevada reservoir is a time portal.

Pulse Nightclub Massacre Revisited

Ten years ago we woke up to the horrific news about the Pulse Massacre in Orlando where 49 people were killed by a deranged person with an assault rifle & yet 10 years later Congress still can’t seem to pass obvious sensible gun legislation that would prevent future brutal, hate-fueled violence attacks. Brandon J Wolf, Pulse Nightclub survivor stated, “To every politician who scapegoats mental illness, saying that simply addressing our poor mental health infrastructure will end gun violence: show me the bill. Show me the bill to make physical & mental health care free at the point of care for people in this country. Show me the bill to end the for-profit scam that is our healthcare system & put in place a system that does what you say we need.” After the demise of the onePULSE Foundation Orlando City Hall is presenting a free event called “Created in Community: Portraits of Pulse” a powerful exhibition features 49 portraits honoring the lives lost created through a deeply collaborative community effort. Designed by local artist Jeff Sonksen in a paint-by-number format the works were completed in 2017 by victims’ families, friends & members of the Orlando community. Each portrait emerged through a shared process of painting, transforming grief into collective remembrance & healing. In 2018 I talked to Brandon about his experience on that horrendous night that claimed the lives of 49 people & left 53 injured most of who were LGBTQ Latinx people & people of color in this exclusive podcast.

Iconic Poet Mary Oliver Documentary

Sasha Waters’ Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World features interviews with Oliver's close friends including John Waters never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks & correspondence from her archive & recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, Maria Shriver & Oprah Winfrey. Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World explores the poet’s long lifetime of work in context capturing the uniqueness of her world & the natural beauty that inspired her. Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic stalking the ponds & forests of Cape Cod for nearly 50 years in order to open herself & her readers to the known & unknowable world. Richard Lorber Kino Lorber Chairman & CEO stated, “It’s so hard to make a movie about poetry, but cinematic translator Sasha Waters has nailed it. Oliver’s words & Waters’ frames work together to dissolve that elusive membrane separating interior & exterior worlds, with enthralling, vividly visualized correlatives of what Oliver learns from nature in examining her own complex emotions. Fueled by poetry, it’s filmic fusion to be cherished.” Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World is a production of American Masters Pictures & is directed & produced by Sasha Waters.

New Interfaith Alliance Marriage Report

Interfaith Alliance a leading national advocate for religious freedom & civil rights released a new & updated edition of its landmark report “Same-Gender Marriage & Religious Freedom.” It makes the urgent case that the US can & must respect both civil marriage equality & religious freedom. The new report is the result of years of dialogue with religious leaders & significantly updates earlier iterations released by Interfaith Alliance in 2009 & 2013. Subtitled “A Call to Quiet Conversations & Public Debates” it focuses on the post-Obergefell need for intensive efforts by faith-based advocates to lift up the positive impacts of marriage equality & to discuss, debate & confront those who pose theological objections or obstacles to marriage equality in religious communities & traditions. Authored by Dr. Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, Interfaith Alliance’s Vice President of Programs & Strategy stated, “A decade on from the Obergefell decision, we’ve seen the incredible impact of marriage equality – but the struggle to protect & uplift LGBTQ+ dignity in our laws & faith communities is very far from over. In this report we stress we need to talk to people who disagree with marriage equality theologically & to call the key questions: Has civil marriage equality harmed your house of worship’s ability to function? Does your marriage matter less because other people are equal under the law? Interfaith Alliance is committed to carrying the conversation forward.” ‍Interfaith Alliance & Interfaith Alliance Foundation are a network of people of diverse faiths & beliefs from across America working together to build a resilient democracy & fulfill this country’s promise of religious freedom & civil rights not just for some but for all.

Federal Court Blocks Military Ban

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has issued a decision in Talbott v. USA upholding a preliminary injunction halting the discharge of trans servicemembers. The preliminary injunction was issued by District Court Judge Ana Reyes on March 18th 2025. In a forceful order in which Reyes held that the ban undermines national security & is likely unconstitutional, she called it “soaked with animus & dripping with pretext.” However Judge Reyes’ order was temporarily stayed by the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit pending the outcome of today’s decision on the merits. As the result of this decision the preliminary injunction will take effect blocking the government from discharging the transgender servicemember plaintiffs in Talbott. Shannon Minter National Center for LGBTQ Rights Legal Director stated, “This is a dramatic shift in the status quo. Before today, the Trump administration was actively taking steps to discharge these courageous plaintiffs. Today’s decision stops this administration from doing so. Servicemembers were preparing to be hauled before review boards & discharged—despite years of honorable service. The court today affirmed the District Court’s careful findings that this administration’s ban on transgender military service has no legitimate basis.” Jennifer Levi, GLAD Law Senior Director of Transgender & Queer Rights concluded, “Today’s decision is a powerful vindication of the plaintiffs’ extraordinary courage & unwavering commitment to their country. This decisive ruling confirms that the Trump Administration has no legitimate basis to discharge transgender servicemembers who have met every demanding standard & proven, time & again, their fitness & dedication to serve.” Fabulous way to kick off Pride month.

McKellen Leads London Walk of Shame

Sir Ian McKellen launched the ‘Commonwealth Walk of Shame’ protest in London today starting outside the Nigerian High Commission. The walk protested against the criminalization of LGBT+ people in 29 Commonwealth member states under colonial-era laws originally imposed by Britain. Many of those attending the protest were LGBT+ refugees who had fled persecution in from 6 Commonwealth nations that have a maximum sentence of life in prison. In Uganda, Brunei & some northern Nigerian states LGBT+ relations can carry the death penalty. Sir Ian McKellen stated, “No one should face prison, violence or death simply for being themselves & loving another person. Yet across most of the Commonwealth, LGBT+ people are still treated as criminals. Many of these laws are relics of the British Empire. The least we in Britain can do is stand in solidarity with those fighting to overturn criminalization. I am proud to support this march & the brave activists leading the struggle for LGBT+ equality.” Deborah Birunji Nabisere of Out & Proud Africa who has fled persecution in Uganda added, “I know what it means to live under laws designed to erase your humanity. We are marching because silence has protected persecution for far too long. Commonwealth leaders cannot celebrate unity while millions of LGBT+ citizens live in fear.” Peter Tatchell concluded, “For decades, Commonwealth leaders have failed to end the persecution of LGBT+ people. Twenty-nine Commonwealth countries still criminalize homosexuality, mostly under British colonial-era laws, in direct violation of the Commonwealth Charter’s commitment to equality & non-discrimination. Across the Commonwealth, millions of LGBT+ people continue to face arrest, imprisonment, violence & discrimination in employment, housing, education & healthcare.” The event was organized by the Peter Tatchell Foundation among others.

Whether you’re here for the songs you know by heart or you’re discovering something new, we invite you to settle in, have fun & let the light of this music shine over you.” Structured in 2 acts with an intermission the program journeys from joy & self-expression into reflection, solidarity & collective power.
