"TREMBLING BEFORE G-D" is a surprisingly lyrical film about the faith, sexuality, and religious life of Hasidic and Orthodox gays and lesbians. The acclaimed documentary began its journey at Sundance in 2001 and has since won awards at film festivals from Chicago to Berlin. After playing for months in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, "Trembling Before G-d" is finally finding its way onto theater screens across North America, Great Britain, Israel, Germany, France, and Switzerland. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE talks with DAVID SILVERSTEIN and MICHELLE MILLER, whose stories are featured in the documentary, as well as the film's director SANDI SIMCHA DUBOWSKI [intro/outro music from "Araber Tantz & To Rinaki (Kalamata Dance)" performed by the BRANDEIS-BARDIN KLEZMER ENSEMBLE] [8:10] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:20 (www.TremblingBeforeGod.com) SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by award-winning gay novelist MICHAEL NAVA (author of the "Henry Rios" mysteries) [:10] + The first record album by an "out" lesbian in the U.S. was Alix Dobkin's 1974 release, "Lavender Jane Loves Women".
