June 09, 2025 Celebrate Queer Pride with SF Frameline and QWOCMAP film festivals
Want to know what feminist and women centered films to watch this June at SF Frameline and Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project film festivals ?
This Monday June 9th at 1-2pm pm on KPFA Radio’s Women’s Magazine I will be talking about the two most important Queer film festivals in the U.S., the San Francisco Frameline LGBTQI + film festival and QWOCMAP. SF Frameline runs from June 18th to June 28th at venues in San Francisco and here in the east bay as well. Frameline will also have films available online to stream from June 23rd to July 1st. I will talk to SF Frameline’s executive director Allegra Madsen about some of the films that feature queer women. All that info is at Frameline.org. Then we will talk to the directors and producers of two deeply moving standout feature length documentaries showing at Frameline that are both about Queer poets and activists.
I talk to Jessica Hargrave, who is a producer on the must see new feature length documentary “Come See Me in the Good Light” which is about spoken word artist and poet Andrea Gibson and their partner, poet Megan Falley, as they find meaning and love while dealing with Gibson’s terminal cancer diagnosis.
And then we will look at another must see film, the new powerful and touching documentary “A Mother Apart,”about Black lesbian feminist poet and activist Staceyann Chin. That film explores Staceyann Chin’s relationship with her mother and daughter and her search to find her mother who left her scarred when her mom abandoned her at the age of 9 and left Staceyann vulnerable to the violence women so often encounter within patriarchy. “A Mother Apart” follows Staceyann as she explores how her mother was herself impacted by the deeply misogynist and racist world we live in. The film also explores how Staceyann Chin found her own healing and self love and was able to pass on that love to her daughter Zuri, interrupting the cycle of violence that radicalized patriarchy and colonialism inflicts on so many women.
In the second half of the show I talk to Madeleine Lim, founder and executive director of the Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project or QWOCMAP. QWOCMAP presents their 21st annual International Queer Women of Color Film Festival this year and it is offered for free, and runs from June 13th-15th at San Francisco’s historic Presidio Theatre in the Presidio National Park. And we talk to Kirthi Nath who is an award winning South Asian lesbian filmmaker, whose lushly beautiful and touching film PARAMITA is being featured at QWOCMAP. For more info check out the website at QWOCMAP.org/festival.

May 12, 2025 Antizionist healing with Wes Somerson
Today we have an interview with anti zionist JVP activist Dr Wendy Elisheva Somerson (Wes) who will be talking about their brand new book called “An Anti-Zionist Path to Embodied Jewish Healing: Somatic Practices to Heal Historical Wounds, Unlearn Oppression, and Create a Liberated World to Come”
This book is an Unapologetically anti-Zionist book that is firmly rooted in Jewish spiritual values and a liberatory model for healing for all activists and in particular for anti zionists and Zionist
“An Ani-Zionist path to Embodied Jewish Healing” provides Body-based tools and faith-based practices for processing trauma, reclaiming our agency, and building a world where “never again” means “never again for anyone”
Deftly addressing how ancestral grief from colonialism lives on in all our bodies and keeps us from feeling safe—and how that fear can become enacted on other people, Somerson also addresses how Israel manipulates its citizens to remain stuck in trauma and fear from the Holocaust and anti semitism and asks how do we reconcile a history of persecution with the state power of Israel today?
Somerson’s book An Anti-Zionist Path to Embodied Jewish Healing shows us how thru somatic healing we can strengthen our movement to build effective solidarity and purposeful power. They do this by showing how oppressive systems that exist outside of us also exist in our own bodies and how somatic healing and healing justice can help us find our aliveness to better understand our relationship to collective power to become better activists rooted in creating solidarities and collective power that will last and not turn against itself.
Wendy Elisheva Somerson (Wes) is a queer non-binary, disabled, Ashkenazi Jewish somatic healer, writer, activist, and visual artist and One of the founders of the Seattle chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. They have been active in Palestinian solidarity work for over two decades. As a politicized healer, Wes works at the intersection of personal and collective healing with individuals, groups, and organizations.
