Welcome, Queers of the World, to the pinnacle of Lesbian Filmmaking! Have you already had the pleasure of seeing Watermelon Woman? Have you heard of it but didn't really get the synopsis you skimmed that time six years ago? Are you out of the loop on this 1996 stunner of a Film? Please enjoy some minutes of gushing and discussion from Sarah and Alicia, who would both rank this Cheryl Dunye classic among their top 3 movies, if they had a list. And more importantly, watch this engaging, layered, funny, serious, got-it-all piece of art. Plus, Sarah makes some fun Dyke Culture connections at AWP!
