DoMs talk to Allyson Mitchell and Christina Zeidler in Toronto about their upcoming screening at GIV (Groupe Intervention Video) co-presented by La Centrale. Freeshow Seymour is the tag-team alias for the collaborative works of Toronto filmmakers Christina Zeidler and Allyson Mitchell, who have been sharing their love for film craft, thrift shopping, and maximalist approach to art making since 1994. Their collaboration is grounded in ?Deep Lez?, a posi-core practice of reclaiming diss?ed and discarded feminist root values in performance, writing, organizing, teaching, music, film, sculpture, and installation. Their politics are expressed through the reclamation of equally abandoned materials such as hard candy, plastic animal figurines, fun fur, cross stitching, macrame, and stuffed animals. This retrospective resembles your childhood dress-up box and teenage hope chest. Childhood trauma, puberty, fatphobia, queer fantasies, feminist epiphanies, breakups and breakdowns, are the tattered rags that Freeshow Seymour lovingly transform into dazzling celluloid quilts. Wrap yourself in the Deep Lez Love. DoMs also talk to the legendary GB Jones about her latest film, The Lollipop Generation, her first feature film. Shot in both Super 8 mm film and analogue video, ?The Lollipop Generation? explores the lives of four teenagers living on the street: Georgie, a runaway, played by Jena von Brucker; Rufus, portrayed by Mark Ewert, rescued from his kidnappers by Georgie; Peanut, an innocent kid kicked out of home played by KC Klass; and Jane Danger in the role of Janie, the experienced street kid. ?The Lollipop Generation? was shot throughout the United States and Canada with a cast of underground queercore superstars from the worlds of independent music, film and fanzines including: Jena von Brucker, Mark Ewert, Jane Danger, Vaginal Davis; Calvin Johnson, Jen Smith, and Joel Gibb. The film also features cameos by artists Anonymous Boy, Scott Treleaven, Paul P. and Ian Philips, musician Gary Fembot, and actor Andrew Cecil. Check out: http://lacentrale.org/

DoMs talk to Tara and Jen of Vancouver's Queer History Project, a pilot project for the Vancouver queer community to create, explore and share their history. It's an opportunity to showcase what was funny, brave, caring, painful, motivating, subversive, routine, ignored, gorgeous and arousing. What happened and what was it like? The Queer History Project invites the community to define its ongoing history. DoMs also talk to director Gwen Haworth about her documentary film, She's a Boy I Knew that uses archival family footage, interviews, phone messages, and animation to tell Steven Haworth's coming out story to his family about his life-long female gender identity. The resulting auto-ethnography is not only an exploration into the filmmaker's process of transition from biological male to female, from Steven to Gwen, but also an emotionally charged account of the individual experiences, struggles, and stakes that her two sisters, mother, father, best friend and wife brought to Gwen's transition.

DoMs are thrilled to bits to have the ever talented Rae Spoon in studio to talk about his latest album, superioryouareinferior and to play some choice tracks. Awesome! Rae Spoon was born on the Canadian prairies of the 80?s. In his early twenties he hit the road as one of the world?s only transgender country singers and toured Canada, Europe, Australia and the USA. When the obvious dangers and contradictions of this role caught up to him he hid in a small town in Eastern Germany for a winter. There he was inspired to write an album about his darker experiences of Canada and it?s highways. superioryouareinferior is Rae?s fourth solo album, and his first in over two years. It was co-produced by Lorrie Matheson in his Calgary studio. Lyrically the album is his most revealing to date. His voice walks the highways from the Yukon to Newfoundland singing of whales that have gotten lost, the wolves in our imaginations, the Great Lakes, cabin fever, dancing with grizzlies, the psychology of a haunting ghost and the issues of ongoing colonialism.
