Lesbians always look fabulous on celluloid, and this year's selection of girls' shorts is proof.

A young woman sets out to fulfill her desires in Getting It On, but finds love where she least expects it. Pump traces the steps of a heartbroken girl who decides to pawn her most prized possession. A young Asian girl looks for love in telefunk8. TV Did This to Me depicts the relationship between a woman and her television. As a Maid of Honor, a woman reconsiders her own non-monogamous relationship. Below the Belt matches two 17-year-old girls who fall for each other - in and out of the boxing ring.
