Silence: In Search of Black Female Sexuality in America (Mya B.)
What would cause black women to become `mute' about their sexuality from generations to come? In this 74-minute documentary, Mya B. entertains us with street interviews juxtaposed with socio-academic experts and religious leaders talking about contemporary black sexuality that has historically been shrouded in silence.

Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography (Becky Goldberg)
Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography takes a rare and empowering look into the pornography industry and feminist community to see how they intertwine within the politics and poetics of female sexuality. It shows women who are committed to making and supporting pornography that includes their feminist values and will go up against an entire industry, stereotypes, and sexism to get what they want.

Filmmakers will be available for Q&A after the films. Tickets are $9 ($6.50 students/seniors) and can be purchased at http://www.altarmagazine.com.
