Wednesday, October 20, 5:30pm It’s “Blind Date” meets “The
L Word” when local filmmaker Jenny Ting follows bon-vivant
Tan Vo on ten dates with ten Seattle women. Get up-close and personal
with Tan, a self-proclaimed butch virgin, as she turns on the charm
for a variety of gals—taking them to restaurants, going for
long walks on the beach, and even bringing them back to her apartment.
Almost a primer for lesbian dating, this film reveals how different
women interact on first dates: they talk about their goals and desires,
the characteristics that are important to them in potential girlfriends,
and all the important details about sex. The viewer gets to be a
fly on the wall, with full access to these dates and their intimate
discussions, while being challenged to confront your own preconceived
notions and misconceptions about lesbians and lesbian dating. But
wait... will there be dyke drama? Please?! Northwest Film Forum Cinema |
