This delightful and at times outrageous collection of shorts finds many ways to fiddle with your funny bone.
Grade AA Butt is a hilarious homage to the 1000 faces of the female buttocks while
the power
and pleasure of fantasy is demonstrated in Watching Her Sleep.
Things get sexy as
Just For You Girls and Engorge, Gobble & Gulp give the terms
powder room and girl talk a
whole new meaning.

Don't Bug Me reminds us that just as quickly as love is found, it slips though our fingers
and we find ourselves fighting about the little things. The burn of mal de
amores ,
that thing you feel when you can't stop loving someone you shouldn't love is hilariously
portrayed in Corazon Sangrante (Bleeding Heart). What Is A Line?
follows a jilted lover on a
train as her anguish turns her world and the train ride upside down.

A Rubenesque sow dreams of having a better figure in Die Topsau (The Top Pig) while
an Olympic swimmer reveals her
loneliness under the pressure of competition
and her overbearing mother in Atlanta. Gus the
kitty can't seem to get any respect
in a house of lesbians in Breakfast with Gus.
Why I Hate Bees
takes us on comedic journey to world of childhood lesbian forays.
In Twisted Sheets we find
that a trip to the grocery store offers a whole new set of
opportunities for a girl who has been
dumped.

This program was curated by Shari Frilot, filmmaker and former director of MIX New York
Lesbian & Gay Experimental Film Festival, who is currently working as a programmer for LA's
