Sugar Sweet
2001.07.21, 16:00

Attention! Sugar Sweet will be shown WITHOUT English subtitles.

Naomi is all excited to create lesbian-made lesbian pornography for straight men, however her plan meets with rejection from her producer, and criticism from her lesbian friends. Disheartened, Naomi turns to an on-line chat room in an effort to cheer herself up, and it's there that she meets "Sugar," a woman describing herself as earnest but nexperienced. When the two begin emailing, Naomi finds herself captivated by Sugar's kindness, consolation and encouragement. Naomi is meanwhile approached by Miki, a performer on a TV show she directs. When flirtatious Miki makes her move, however, Naomi declines, spilling the beans on her relationship with Sugar. Who would ever have guessed that Sugar and Miki are one and the same? You'll have to watch for yourself to find out just how this love story ends.

A larger-than-life love story written by the DK Sisters (Dez and Kaoru), Sugar Sweet marks the full-length directorial debut of Tokyo-based lesbian director Dez, whose Dyke Just Do It and Disposable Lez have shown previously at TLGFF. Not to be missed! Scheduled for broadcast in August on Sky Perfect TV's Theatre 135.

Sugar Sweet will be preceded by 3-Second Melancholy at 16:00 pm in the lobby of Spiral Hall (3F): "More than friends, but less than lovers." A fable about love, desire and friendship between five women in Tokyo, circa now.
