A diverse array of dramatic, comic, experimental and documentary shorts. Afterschool Delight (Eve Bregman, 2003) finds 12-year-old Scout and Angie checking out Playboys in her brother’s room, while Camouflage Pink (Carolyn Caizzi and Laura Rodriguez, 2002) and Peeling (Heidi Bollock, 2002) feature teenagers with secrets of their own. Lauren Cook’s The Fair and The Weak (2002) deftly draws on 50s educational films to consider her own coming of age. Butch Mystique, winner of this year’s Best Short award at San Francisco’s Frameline festival (Debra Wilson, 2003), features articulate and thoughtful butch women musing on the mysteries of identity.
