Check it out, our good friends just released this anthology which would be a great read for anyone who loved or hated Homotopia. Chris Vargas designed the pretty, pretty cover and i (Eric) have a piece in it.

The book includes written work by  some of today’s foremost and emerging queer voices: Kate Bornstein, Eric Stanley, Dean Spade, Craig Willse, Kenyon Farrow, Kate Raphael, Deeg, John D’Emilio, Ryan Conrad, Yasmin Nair, Martha Jane Kaufman, Katie Miles, and Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore. The book also includes a set of postcards from our series designed by Beth Slutzky, Liz Kinnamon and Chris Vargas (who also designed our book’s fabulous cover!).

Those looking for bulk order rates so they can stock up their own distros, infoshops or indie bookstores, it will be available for bulk order through our distributor AK Press very soon!

Hit them up here for more info!

It seems this gay marriage mayhem may never end, and so the importance of Homotopia remains. If you are having an event and are interested in screening Homotopia let us know and I’m sure we can work something out. We also want schools/ gay centers/ radical archives to acquire Homotopia so it will remain archived for people to see for years. If you are connected to such places also hit us up.

In other news, it is looking like Criminal Queers (with chris and eric) will be making our way back north to Canada in the late fall and will also make a trip to the Midwest be on the lookout for more news!

We will be showing a “preview” of Criminal Queers as part of Suggestions of a Life Being Lived. September 9—October 23, 2010 with an Opening Reception: Thursday, September 9, 2010, 5 – 8 pm

Suggestions of a Life Being Lived, guest curated by Chicago-based curator Danny Orendorff and San Francisco’s Adrienne Skye Roberts for SFCamerawork presents queerness as a set of political alliances and possibilities, informed by the projects of 16 artists working in photography, film, video, activism and education. The work in this exhibition represents queer activism, intentional and imagined communities, self-determinism, an…d DIY alternative world-making.

Also, check out this great interview with Chirs Varags , “Identities Aplenty” by Lucas Crawford. Its published in VUE and you can read it here.

We are currently starting to book fall/ winter 2010 screenings and would love to come to your city/town or whatever and screen Criminal Queers and talk about prison abolition, radical trans/queer politics and film. If you are interested in bringing us and our films to your university, conference, gallery, community space, or where ever, email us and lets figure it out.

In other news, Chris and Greg just finished their third episode of their critically acclaimed relationship comedy Falling In Love… with Chris and Greg. Check their web page here for screenings.
