Before the official opening night film, Frameline presented two recently restored films.

| Audre Lorde: Greetings from Washington, D.C. |
Greetings from Washington, D.C., dir. Lucy Winer, 1989, USA, 28 min. 👏
chronicles the first National March on Washington for Lesbian & Gay Rights on Sunday, October 14, 1979. It’s a well-made documentary, beautifully restored. This time capsule of the early days of national organizing for LGBTQ+ rights is well worth preserving and well worth seeing. Highly recommended.

| Resonance (1991) |
Resonance, dir. Stephen Cummins, 1991, Australia, 11 min. 👍
A gay man gets bashed in the back streets of Sydney, but a good samaritan comes to his rescue. The two men, plus the basher and his girlfriend, interplay dance (including choreographed fight scenes) and gesture as they come to grips with what happened. Recommended, with a content warning. This film has been available through Frameline Distribution for some time, but has now been restored to look like new.
