Works by Malaika Williams, Rachel Rivera and Karen Everett By questioning the conventions of the documentary, injecting the subjective view, and staking out new subject matter, Marlon Riggs has had a visible effect on his students. Addressing race, sexuality and colonialism, these three works disclose his influence through their frankness and vigor. Malaika Williams's One Drop Rule (1990, 25 mins, Color/B!W) examines the southern dictum that "one drop" of "negro" blood made one a "negro." The documentary's concern is with the psychological aftereffects of this rule on adult children of racially mixed families. Rachel Rivera's Sin City Diary (1992, 29 mins, Color) looks at the lives of women who work as prostitutes outside the U.S. Navy base at Subic Bay, Philippines. Using the form of a journal, Rivera inscribes the documentary with her own experience as a balik-bayan (a person returning home), exploring identity and national history through first-person observation. Karen Everett's Framing Lesbian Fashion (1992, 59 mins, Color) charts the evolution of lesbian attire and, consequently, identity, while showing off the full range of rags from flannel to lingerie. Not just a style sheet, this upbeat work presents a graceful grammar of lesbian history.-Steve Seid
