AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

The Greek island of Lesbos gifted its name to the international term for women who love women, going all the way back to its famous daughter, Sappho, who penned countless poems to them and also lent her name to the cause. Flash forward a few thousand years, and it remains a cultural outpost for the free of spirit, as this beautifully drawn, lyrical documentary by local filmmaker and photographer Tzeli Hadjidimitriou outlines. Featuring a wealth of talking heads who have called the idyllic farming village of Eressos home, it details how lesbians of all stripes and every corner of the globe have flocked to this place since the ‘70s, transforming it in their wake, even if some of the locals have been less than impressed. You’ll feel the sand on your feet and the warm waters’ tender caress.
