Showcasing: One Summer in New Paltz, A Cautionary Tale
© 2008 Intervention Video Inc. (54 min., DVD), Producer / Director: Nancy Nicol, Composer: Alyssa Ryvers, Director of Photography: Michelle Handelman, Editor: Nancy Nicol
Set against a backdrop of the Bush administration’s policy of endless war and assault on civil liberties, One Summer in New Paltz is a cautionary tale of a young mayor of a small village who decided to do the unthinkable.
In February 2004, President George W. Bush called for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to enshrine a heterosexual definition of marriage. His announcement ignited a wave of civil disobedience same-sex marriages across the United States. Within days of the President’s announcement, Jason West, the 26 year old mayor of the village of New Paltz, New York, decided to use his power as mayor to marry same-sex couples. As news of the mayor’s decision spread, hundreds of gay and lesbian couples converged on the village of New Paltz asking to be put on the list to be married.

 Proud Lives: Chris Bearchell
(August 16, 1953 - February 18, 2007)
© 2007 Intervention Video Inc. (16 min., DVD), Directed and Produced by Nancy Nicol
This video is a commemoration to Chris Beachell, celebrating her life and contribution to the queer movement in Canada. Chris Bearchell is a towering figure in the history of gay liberation in Canada. A courageous and compassionate woman, Chris began writing for the Body Politic (TBP) in 1975, and was in the forefront of founding some of the first lesbian and gay organizations in Canada.
“They think that when they pick on us that they’re picking on the weakest. Well, they made a mistake this time! We’re going to show them just how strong we are. They can’t get away with this shit anymore! No more shit!"
~ Chris Bearchell (speaking at the demonstration protesting
the bath raids, midnight, Feb. 6, 1981, Toronto)
