My wife was the unsteady hand on the camera, you try getting a clear shot with a wiggling 2-year-old on your lap. It was a great day, August 25th, and a great place to have a graduation ceremony, the Unitarian Church on Franklin and Geary. I had a speech prepared, it was open mic, but I left it in Sadie's diaper bag, so I didn't get to use it. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">OPEN MIC SPEECH</span><br /><br />New College of California has a special place in my heart today. When I told my friends that I would be speaking at an open mic graduation ceremony, they would look at me and say "How very New College." I have to say that this college is one of the most unique university experiences I have ever had. And to say that my cohort was a unique one would be a gross understatement. I truly got to study with some of the most interesting people that I have ever met.<br /><br />Alcina, a mother of two with a passion for conflict resolution. Kd, a personal chef with a deep love of indigenous food culture. Letha, a mother from Mariposa with a heart of gold and a love for mapping the cultural exchange of the Silk Road. Noel, a poet whose words flowed like milk and honey, with a passion for Aikido and nonviolence. Fran, a Universal Sufi Minister with the divine mission to bring enlightenment to all. Gilbert, the actor with the goal of cataloging the Roxy Film Archive. Chris, the young man from Santa Cruz who got his kicks with permaculture. Marion, whose true love of the theater was as amazing as her ability with Dreamweaver. Young Hee, the critical mind who kept everyone on their toes, seeking something more that scaling half dome could give her. Michelle, the Texan who flew out every other weekend to grace us with her presence, whose deep devotion to G-d was evident in her every breath. And Sandy, the mother of us all with her Wacky Science experiments and beautiful presence.<br /><br />Along the way we lost some, Letha and Chris graduated before most of us, and gained some, Michelle and Fran came to us in the last semester. However, the bond between us is still strong, we keep in touch with our Yahoo! Group, Cohort Alchemy. The name in itself is pretty self explanatory, we were a complex group of people with many different interconnected aspects and turned ourselves into a cohort. Though, it is much more than that, through much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair we painstakingly turned ourselves into a cohort no matter where people went after the experience. A group of friends who will make it their life's work to keep in touch and update each-other on their joys, like Kd's recent wedding, and sorrows, like Michelle's fight to come out here for this graduation. <br /><br />Through it all, we have remained individuals and true to ourselves, while still becoming part of a whole. I know that I will take this experience with me into the world on the other side of college, over the rainbow as it were. And move through the world with a purpose that encompasses not only my values but those of my friends, my cohort, my college. <br /><br />How very New College, indeed.Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08284241194827224863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915770950090399362.post-90501071883159882942007-08-03T08:58:00.000-07:002007-08-03T09:03:09.524-07:00AGENCY has an Air Date!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(192, 0, 0); font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">AGENCY</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Air Date: Sept. 16th 2007</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Time: 8:30 PM</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Only of ACCESSF, Cable Chanel 29</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> <span style=""><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">An unscripted interview show that focuses on personal stories and reflections about enacting change through spiritual, political, literary or cultural agency<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></div><br /><br /><center> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://blip.tv/scripts/pokkariPlayer.js?ver=2007062101"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://blip.tv/syndication/write_player?skin=js&posts_id=302455&source=3&autoplay=true&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;file_type=flv&player_width=240&player_height=170"></script><div id="blip_movie_content_302455"><a rel="enclosure" href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Alchemarty-Agency766.mov" onclick="play_blip_movie_302455(); return false;"><img style="width: 368px; height: 260px;" alt="Video thumbnail.

On Friday the 1st of June at the Trans Celebration Shabbat, I had a double dose of the nerves because I was not only showing my film, <a href="http://clockedmovie.blogspot.com/">Clocked: An Oral History</a>, I was also one of the producers of the weekend and my mother was attending from Klamath Falls, OR. I wanted everything to go well for the entire weekend, so much that I came by the synagogue that afternoon to set up the projector and sound equipment about 6 hours before showtime. I readied myself for the 20 people that I expected to show up at the film screening and was surprised to find that more people than seats arrived. The room was filled to capacity and people were spilling out into the hallways, the adjoining classrooms and the stairwell.<br /><br />The energy was palpable and I felt as if everything would go well for the entire weekend if my little film could drag this many people to the shul on a Friday evening, free food or not. Upon looking around the room for the faces I knew, there were a few, and many I hadn't seen in years. Yet, the majority of those crowding into the oneg room were strangers to me. People sat on the floor, the extra folding chairs, they also stood and peered around the corner while some just closed their eyes and listened to the dialog.<br /><br />The Trans Celebration Shabbat brought people of every religion, and knowledge of the trans-communities, out of the woodwork to be part of something celebratory and wonderful. There is a line in my film delivered by Cecilia Chung, "In the last 40 years, we spent many years mourning and grieving what we did didn't have or what we've lost, mourning and grieving how we survived a very violent time in our community history; but because of all the progress we make, I think we will see more people feel empowered to talk about what leadership means; what diversity means; what celebrating themselves means. And gender and sexualities are meant to be celebrated, not to be grieved." I think that this is important, as transpeople we need to celebrate ourselves, our gender, our sexuality and our lives in community with others. It is when we touch others hearts and minds that we are blessed in return.Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08284241194827224863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915770950090399362.post-19684978033459863052007-06-01T10:32:00.000-07:002007-06-01T10:35:01.988-07:00TONIGHT!

Nadia was sent to the angels by an unlicensed, uninsured driver who was paying attention to his eating and not his driving and hit her. Nadia, aka "Kitty Kastro" was the producer, director, and hostess of television's first transgender community cable show called "Tranny Talk" originating from San Francisco. She accomplished this with her long-time partner, Dina Boyer. This memorial service was at St. Anthony's within the realm of the Tenderloin, Nadia's home turf.

The summit was a success and the Healing Ourselves workshop that I was a part of was a hit. I got some great footage so look for more oral histories and conference footage over the next few weeks. The goal is to produce a small 30 min tribute to those who worked behind the scenes and out in front with this years conference.<br /><br />I did get to promote the film and made some connections with <a href="http://ftmalliance.org/">FTM Alliance</a>, <a href="http://tgsf.org/">TGSF</a>, <a href="http://www.genderqueerrevolution.org/">Genderqueer Revolution</a>, the <a href="http://www.defrank.org/">Billy Defrank Center</a>, Transgiving and LOTUS.

I plan on doing more ethnographic interviews in the space between workshops. I am once again presenting the Healing Ourselves Through Activism workshop that everyone liked last year. It is nice having something to do during conferences besides attend the workshops. I am ecstatic that I will be able to continue the film project in LA with the help of <a href="http://transgenderlawcenter.org/">TLC</a> and the summit. Of course it is not without a price, I will have to leave my family behind in San Francisco to film the plenaries on Friday and Sunday for the summit.<br /><br />One of the original subjects, Red Jordan Arobateau, suggested that I do the project in phases, Clocked Cycle One and so forth... I am more inclined to do Clocked: LA, Clocked: San Francisco and the like... This could get really big!<br /><br />On another note, I am still waiting on the Frameline International LGBT Film Festival for word on whether or not<span style="font-style: italic;"> Clocked</span> had been admitted.

I am also working on very low funding as well, so if any of you know where I could find donors, or if you can help with writing grants and such please contact me! <br /><br />MartyMartinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08284241194827224863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915770950090399362.post-79362025412975611362007-02-13T09:33:00.000-08:002007-02-14T10:29:44.675-08:00Why Clocked?This project was started by the prodding of a friend at the <a href="http://www.transgenderlawcenter.org/do/tg_summit2006.html">Transgender Leadership Summit</a> in February of 2006. Gayle R. asked me about ethnographies and oral histories in response to some of the great stories told by the elders at the summit. When I got home, I hit the street and talked to everyone I could about doing an oral history project about the trans community. At the time I was on a fundraising committee for the film <a href="http://www.screamingqueensmovie.com">Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria</a> and that gave me the opportunity to talk with <a href="http://www.kqed.org/arts/people/truly/profile.jsp?id=6047">Susan Stryker</a> and <a href="http://www.history.pomona.edu/vis/vishome.htm">Victor Silverman</a> about filmmaking. Both thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if the communities were given a voice. <br /><br />First I needed a camera, and I couldn't use my old VHS-C. Being a working poor student pushed me to get inventive with funding and I applied for some extra financial aid. For the price of a budget 3 chip camera, 10 MiniDV tapes and 20 DVD-R's I got started. I took my love of ethnography and started writing questions for my academic advisor to approve. Once the legal and academic needs were met I grabbed my camera and started filming my first subject, Zion Johnson. His interview was a great experience and when he talked about Clocking T, I asked if I could use the word in the title of the film. Thus the film <i>Clocked: An Oral History</i> was born.Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08284241194827224863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915770950090399362.post-89173064737992197642007-02-11T10:32:00.001-08:002007-02-13T10:58:33.459-08:00Cecilia Chung Oral History<center> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://blip.tv/scripts/pokkariPlayer.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://blip.tv/syndication/write_player?skin=js&posts_id=152325&source=3&autoplay=true&file_type=flv&player_width=&player_height=500"></script><div id="blip_movie_content_152325"><a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Alchemarty-CeciliaChungOralHistory697.flv" onclick="play_blip_movie_152325(); return false;"><img src="http://blip.tv/file/get/Alchemarty-CeciliaChungOralHistory697.flv.jpg" border="0" title="Click To Play" /></a><br /><a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/Alchemarty-CeciliaChungOralHistory697.flv" onclick="play_blip_movie_152325(); return false;">Click To Play</a></div> </center><div class="blip_description"></div><br /><br />Cecilia is the Deputy Director of the <a href="http://transgenderlawcenter.org">Transgender Law Center</a>, a member the San Francisco <a href="http://www.sfgov.org/site/sfhumanrights_index.asp">Human Rights Commission</a> and has been a San Francisco resident since 1985.Cecilia is one of the founding producers of the annual <a href="http://transmarch.org">Trans March</a>.Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08284241194827224863noreply@blogger.com
