-
- Shot in the Northern California gay resort town of Guerneville on the Russian River, David Lewis' new film is much more polished than Rock Haven and has even more soul, if that's possible. Everett (Brendan Bradley) and Miles (Tad Coughenour) are in a comfortable but now non-passionate relationship. Together they are raising Billy, a boy with a learning disability who takes up much of the home's love and attention. When Miles and Billy go off to visit the grandparents and leave Everett to work in peace, there isn't even a goodbye kiss between the two men. Shortly after Miles and Billy leave, Chase (Matthew Montgomery) stops his car at Everett's house to ask for directions, and there's an instant connection between the two men. Later that day, Everett visits the B&B and "just happens to bump into" his new friend. Then, while antique hunting with his Mom, the two men run into each other again, and the flirtation is official. Despite Everett's reticence and clumsiness, Chase persists and their sparks soon fly. With superb performances by Matthew Montgomery (Socket, Back Soon and Gone, But Not Forgotten) and the rest of the cast, great scenery, an original score and a mushy-beyond-belief story, Redwoods is bound to become a gay classic. -- Scott Cranin

-
- Since its inception, animation has mined racial stereotypes for entertainment and propagandistic purposes. Most early cartoons featured characters developed from vaudeville and minstrel show stereotypes. Wartime cartoons used racial and national caricatures to mock and demean America's enemies. Later, studios repressed their own work: Disney squelched the Academy Award-winning feature Song of the South in 1986, and YouTube routinely pulls down vintage theatrical release cartoons saturated with exaggerated racial imagery. This class investigates suppressed historical and contemporary cartoons, deconstructing their meaning and uncovering their cultural and historical contexts.
