Filmmaker Chase Joynt -- whose metatextual documentary Framing Agnes makes its Canadian premiere at Hot Docs this week -- unpacks the layers of Cheryl Dunye's 1996 indie breakout The Watermelon Woman, a film that was easily 25 years ahead of its time in its exploration of race, representation, privilege and sexuality. Your genial host Norm Wilner can't believe what he missed the first time around, although he's glad we've left VHS behind. And don't forget, the entire first year of this podcast is still available for purchase for only $20 (!) at payhip.com/semcast. That's 52 episodes! Days of listening pleasure!
