In the screening series Female Gays: Liberation Through Lesbian Misadventure, Jane Keranen curates an evening of lesbian cinema presented in partnership with the University of Chicago Film Studies Center.
Liberation manifests in myriad and often unexpected forms – in the three accompanying confessional lesbian shorts (Sadie Benning’s Me and Rubyfruit, Cheryl Dunye’s Greetings From Africa, and Jenni Olson’s Blue Diary), we witness the ways in which everyday acts of affection, desire, and confrontation renegotiate and redefine methods of queer liberation.
