Hide and Seek
Leaving November 30
•
1h 3m
Directed by Su Friedrich • 1996 • United States
Starring Chelsea Holland, Ariel Mara, Linzy Taylor
This poignant blend of documentary and narrative tells the story of Lou, a twelve-year-old girl coming to terms with her budding sexuality in the mid-1960s. Her bittersweet tale is skillfully interwoven with clips from a wide array of scientific and educational films, as well as interviews with adult lesbians who recount their adolescent attractions to girls, how they felt when they first heard the word “lesbian,” where they fit in the butch/femme continuum, and their thoughts about how they became baby dykes. HIDE AND SEEK is for every woman who’s been to a slumber party and every man who wonders what went on at one.
