- DirectorParis PoirierStarsTudy AubryPat BondJeanne BurnsFrom 1966 until 1989, Maud's was a San Francisco bar for women. Almost half the film sets the context leading to Maud's opening: lesbians discovering their sexual orientation and having few places to socialize; the foundation of the Daughters of Bilitis in 1955; the need for alternatives to gay (men's) bars, subject to police raids in the 1950s. So, Ricky Streicher opened Maud's: her goal was an honest, open, free place. Good times were on the rise until the late 1970s, then came Harvey Milk's assassination and AIDS. People drank less in the 1980s as well and had fewer casual affairs. Maud's closes, and patrons express great fondness for the place and its people.

- DirectorAn DinhStarsElena DinhAn DinhMelissa Pace-TannerAn estimated 2 Million couples struggle with these complex issues. They resolve them in very individual and sometimes unbelievable ways - divorces (both amicable and ugly), open marriages, staying together. Single Tracks explores An and Elena's path to work through the initial shock, granting audiences a rare glimpse into the lives of two ordinary people undergoing tremendous transformation. An and Elena play themselves and include documentary interviews with real couples sharing their stories to remind the audience that this is happening all around us. The filmmakers take great care to avoid melodrama and use the supporting characters to re-enact actual conversations they had with others about their relationship. While autobiographic in nature, they fictionalized the supporting characters in order to maintain a smooth narrative.
