"Just the power of seeing… me." Wolfe Video has released an official trailer for an indie documentary called Ahead of the Curve, opening at the IFC Center in NYC starting this week. The doc is a fascinating inside look at Curve magazine, "the best-selling lesbian magazine ever published." From its start in 1990, Curve magazine was a "visionary and unapologetic celebration of lesbian life from cover to cover." Confronted with their possible demise in 2019, director Jen Rainin and Curve founder Franco Stevens explore questions of lesbian visibility, legacy, intersectionality & current day issues through interviews with many contemporary LGBTQ+ tastemakers and activists, plus "celesbians" including Melissa Etheridge, Jewelle Gomez, Denice Frohman, Kate Kendell, and Lea DeLaria. It also features rich archival footage recounting the formation of a lesbian cultural institution. It's described in reviews as an "accomplished, resonant and deeply moving" film. ›››
