What’s New in Lesbian Film: Me, Myself and Her
Billed as the first lesbian feature film from Italy, Me, Myself and Her directed by Maria Sole Tognazzi begs the question, “What took you so long Italy?†The film stars Sabrina Ferilli as Marina, a confident and beautiful woman in her 50’s. Her lover of five years is played by Margherita Buy as Frederica. You see, […]
Films Give Us Hope in a Chaotic World
In 1944 war raged across Europe. Turmoil reigned throughout the world and America lived in fear and sorrow as the stories of ethnic cleansing and city destruction became our newspaper headlines. I start with this as my prelude to answering the question “Why support women and lesbians creating films when our world is in such […]
Help Family Secrets Get Unveiled in ‘Louise’
In 1995 I became a filmmaker. Well, that is a stretch. I consulted on a documentary about dementia because I am a psychologist and gerontologist by background. The film went on to be nominated for an Academy Award and in my humble opinion, I helped get it there. Okay. Not so humble. It was around […]
Lesbian films: Portrait of a Serial Monogamist

In June of 2015 PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL MONOGAMIST was released and quickly snapped up by Wolfe Video.

Sweden’s Queer ‘Girl King’
I have always gravitated to the films that pull us back in time to the grandeur or spectacle of royalty and those who attend them in the 15th, 16th and 17th century. In The Girl King, Director Mika Kaurismaki thrusts us into the world of Sweden with his brilliant view of a queen that shall […]
A Lesbian Film for all Seasons
The first time I saw a photo of Patricia Velásquez‘, I couldn’t catch my breath. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe her. In February 2015, I read Velásquez’  memoir Straight Walk, discussing her struggles growing up in poverty in Venezuela and how her relationship with Sandra Bernhard made her realize she was a lesbian. This, by the way, […]
Lesbian Film Night & Dancing w/DJ Page Hodel!
You know what the best thing about an LGBT Film Festival is? That once a year we get flooded with LGBT films from all over the world. One glorious week of films that we would otherwise never see. Then… 258 days go by and there is nothing playing at your local theater. Well, last year […]
Lesbian Filmmakers We Love: Becky Lane
Recently I discovered Ithaca writer, director and producer Becky Lane when I heard about a web series she was creating called The Chanticleer. I asked to see some teasers before she released it on YouTube. I was hooked and though I absolutely love the series, I want it to grow into a feature film. Becky […]
Jane Clark Makes Films Lesbians Love
In 1999, Jane Clark played a recurring nurse on Chicago Hope. This lead to a role on Ally McBeal. Her part- a nurse. Then came Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice where, yes, she played… the nurse. Obviously not a woman to be pegged as the actress who plays a nurse on “that showâ€, she has […]
