Two by Stephen Winter
One of the most exciting and iconoclastic voices in radical queer cinema, Stephen Winter makes films that are as politically explosive as they are riotously entertaining. In his outré satire Chocolate Babies , a band of self-described “raging, atheist, meat-eating, HIV-positive, colored terrorists” fight back against homophobic politicians on the streets of 1990s New York City. Its searing statement of Black queer power is echoed in his latest film, Jason and Shirley , an audacious reimagining of the making of Shirley Clarke’s 1967 cinema verité landmark Portrait of Jason .
