An Open Letter to Frameline: Where is the B?
June 19th, 2006Hi, friends, bi and bi allies alike,
About a week and a half ago, I wrote a open letter to Frameline, the organization that puts on the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival (aka the best LGBT film fest in the world), expressing my concern over the lack of bisexual films in this year’s program. Over 20 bisexuals and bi allies signed my letter (!), which I then sent to Frameline and to lots of other people as well. More and more people started signing the letter for themselves and mailing it in, too!
About a week later, I received a response from Frameline, which I have posted here so that all of you can read their perspective. I really appreciate the promptness and thoughtfulness of the Frameline response. Unfortunately, there were a couple of ways in which I think my original letter was misinterpreted, so I wrote them back to clarify things. My reply to them is here.
The other reason I wrote them back was to share my ideas on how to move forward and promote bi visibility in films at Frameline. Since then, Frameline has contacted me to express a committment to continue this dialogue with me on these issues! If you share my interest in dialogue on bi issues in film, drop me a line…
Cheers,
Amy
