GIRLS SHORTS

7 p.m. Saturday, June 23, Caravan of Dreams 2

For the ladies, we've lined up offerings from a couple of Texans. From Houston comes the story of a young lesbian seeking reconciliation with her estranged mother in A Thousand Miles. In the Austin short Cat in a Beach Chair a lesbian has an interesting chat with her het lady friend. A mom tells her son her greatest loves have been women in the Spanish film Gladys, A Cuban Mother. Phallocy asks the question, "How does a 32-year-old lesbian become a man?" The bond between lesbians and their canines are explored in Dykes and Their Dogs. With more to come.
