Experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer illuminates the story of surrealist writer, photographer, and lesbian Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, her lover, step-sister, and artistic collaborator. Capturing the spirit of this Jewish couple who refused to live by any standards but their own, the film masterfully employs photographs of the women and their artwork, interwoven with voiceovers and insightful interviews. Lover Other brings art, politics, and gender identity to the fore in a thought-provoking investigation of artists and resistance during WWII.

acked with raw interviews and stinging performances, this explosive documentary introduces us to 20 artists, activists, and entertainers who belong to the growing underground queer hip-hop movement. From a striking range of sexual and ethnic backgrounds, the MCs and rappers in this rapidly expanding network disagree about almost everything—from political or openly gay content in their raps, to the role of race and gender in the hip-hop community, to the need to push for major-label success—but that’s exactly what makes them a uniquely defiant community with lethal force. Shot over three years by Queercore director Alex Hinton, the film charts the movement from the underground Bay Area scene in the 90s, to the present scenes in Houston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and London. Description adpated from the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.
