Short films about life in the lesbian lane
This eclectic and always entertaining collection of shorts looks at lesbian lives and loves from many diverse viewpoints. Cyclicity takes us on a romantic Ferris wheel ride where two women meet, build a relationship, and separate, all in the space of a single turn. In Cross Your Fingers a young, conservative Chinese woman working in a nail salon falls for a punky rock grrrl and wonders where it all might lead. In Thinking Straight a girl dates a girl, thinking the girl thinks she’s a boy. In Under Pressure the coolest girl in the school has her first proper kiss. And Lesser Apes is a wildly imaginative and hilarious short where a bonobo chimp and her human girlfriend talk about their life as perverts among ‘the pinkies’.
