Groundbreaking in more ways than one, Cheryl Dunye’s autofiction work was the first feature to be directed by a Black lesbian filmmaker. A highlight of the ’90s New Queer Cinema, this joyous comedy wittily reflects, with contagious energy, on film history, representation, race relations, and desire.
