Women with vision apotlight on Yvonne Welbon.
Chicago-based filmmaker and Northwestern University Ph.D. candidate Yvonne Welbon is an African-American lesbian who emerged as a major voice in the film community during the 1990s. Her autobiographical and biographical works explore issues of racism and sexuality with a deeply personal perspective. In August 1999, Variety named Welbon among the "50 Creatives to Watch."

REMEMBERING WEI YI-FANG, REMEMBERING MYSELF . . .
Directed by Yvonne Welbon
After living in Taiwan for six years, Welbon returned to the United States and to the racism facing her as an African American. She recalls her discovery, through another language and culture, of the joy of being respected for herself, not hated for her skin color. 1995, U.S., video, 30 minutes.

LIVING WITH PRIDE: RUTH ELLIS @ 100
Directed by Yvonne Welbon
Welbon's documentary provides a portrait of the oldest out African-American lesbian, born July 23, 1899. In addition to exploring her rich past, the film offers a rare opportunity to experience a century of history as lived by one inspiring woman. By example, Ruth Ellis shows us what can be realized if one lives long and proud. Living with Pride:Ruth Ellis @ 100 won the Best Documentary prize at the 1999 San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and was accepted into the 2000 Whitney Biennial. 1999, U.S., video, 60 minutes.
