Same Difference

Catherine OPIE Lisa UDELSON 2011 USA Documentary color 29min English DigiBeta
A cinematic collaboration between photographer Catherine Opie and filmmaker Lisa Udelson, Same Difference gives voice to children in California during the debate over the anti-gay marriage bill Proposition 8. It is an exploration of how modern American families are constructed, not only those within the LGBTQ community. Slashed together with vintage film clips to create irony and recognition of the historical representation of family, the piece challenges how we know what we know – and how our opinions can change.
