The Watermelon Woman

A classic of the New Queer Cinema of the 90s, director Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman addresses the lack of black lesbian representation in cultural history. A young woman makes a film about an enigmatic black female actor from the 1930s known for her stereotypical ‘mammy’ roles. At the same time, she falls for a white woman and intimacy and personal angst mingle with a fascinating investigation into race, sexuality, and history.

This event is being put on by Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) and we are delighted to be part of  a post-screening discussion on lesbian and female bisexual representation in cinema. This film is screening as part of Glasgay! Festival.
