Tipping The Velvet/BBC Worldwide |
What is a LESBIAN? This year's collection of international films challenges
our stereotypes and sometimes our comfort levels! We start with a bang on the
Festival's first Saturday night with Tipping
the Velvet and the risqué sexual games of Victorian England. Later
in the week, meet a lesbian who explores sleeping with men in Do
I Love You?, a bisexual temptress in Karmen
Gei, and mighty Sapphos taking over Athens in Lisistrata.
Swashbuckling drag king butches pirate us away in Girl
King -- watch out femmes! Don't miss the happenstance lovers of Incidental
Journey, some fierce tops in Tan
de repente (Suddenly), the righteous womyn of Radical
Harmonies, and the riot grrls of The
Politics of Fur. To round it all out, meet a pair of political ladies
in No
Secret Anymore who have been together for more than 50 years.
2003 is also a big year for amazing shorts by and for women. Check out the Global Passions, Queering Popular Culture, What Girls Like, and PlanetOut.com Short Movie Awards presentations for more love, sex, gender bending, and even some crime fighting vixens!
At the Fifth Annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, feel free to be whoever you are or want to be.
