Sistah Sinema – an online streaming platform originally launched in 2013 by Isis Asare, with a library of queer women of color films – has teamed up with IndieFlix (the curated online exhibitor of indie films from all over the world) in a partnership that is said to be part of a larger effort to showcase cinema that highlights global diversity.

Launching this month, the initiative will start with a highlight of films that include the early works of Cheryl Dunye ("Watermelon Woman" and others), as well as Kortney Ryan Ziegler’s "Still Black: A Portrait of Black Transmen," Robert Philipson’s "T’Ain’t Nobody’s Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s," and more.

The Sistah Sinema collection on IndieFlix is available right now, to IndieFlix customers around the country. 

"There is still a long way to go in building a collection that represents all the great films telling the stories of queer women of color, but this is a great re-start," says Asare, who plans to grow the Sistahs Sinema collection, focusing specifically on festival-played indie films that go without theatrical distribution deals, or had limited availability on Netflix. She hopes to add 5 or more titles each month to the collection.
