voice of Jessye Norman; ANTHEM (Dir. Marlon Riggs), a collage of erotic images
that celebrates the lives of African American men; RELAX (Dir. Christopher
Newby), an elegant film about one man`s fears and fantasies regarding HIV
testing; BILLY TURNER`S SECRET (Dir. Michael Mayson), an upbeat, energetic
comedy about a young black man coming out to his homophobic roommate; and THE

`70s world of promiscuity and disco balls from the perspective of gay life in
the `90s.
