Synopsis
"Inspired by Rosalie 'Rose' Bamberger (1921-1990), the mixed-race Filipina American paintbrush maker and co-founder of the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) in 1955. When DOB shifted their focus to becoming the first US lesbian political rights organization, Rose and her partner Rosemary faded from the historical record. What they truly sought was a 'secret society for lesbians' -- a space to dance, drink, and dine without fear of police raids. The film presents Rose's unrealized vision -- a kaleidoscope of women swinging, playing, and dancing, intercut with celluloid fragments of potlucks and paintbrushes ... " (TT) Commissioned for Canyon Cinema's Print Generations project.
