Skin (Ian Jarvis and David Collins, 2000, Canada, film/video, color, sound, 3 min.) This garish, memory-laced short captures the thrill, threat, and attraction of bareback sex. Crimson • • (Gino T.

J’ai des bouches partout (I’ve Got Mouths All Over) • • (Pierre-Yves Clouin, 1999, France, video, color, silent, 3 min.) A favorite video maker still playing tricks.

Knuckle Down • (Sarah Marcus and K8 Hardy, 2000, US, film/video, color, sound, 8 min.)

The Visit • (Shahin Afnan, 1999, UK, film/video, b&w, sound, 8 min.) Reminiscent of Bergman’s Persona, these phone conversations between two women in a long-distance relationship will make you stick close to home. Shifting Positions • (Kathy High, 1999, US, film/video, color, sound, 28 min.) Semi-autobiographical with lush family Super-8 footage, the maker fictionalizes her midlife realizations of being queer, juxtaposed with her aging father’s dementia.
