SAN FRANCISCO—On Friday, May 16, Pink & White Productions will host an evening of film and cultural reflection at “Documenting Dyke Desires: Lesbian and Queer Porn, Pleasure, and Politics in 1990s San Francisco,” a one-night only event that revisits and celebrates the sex-positive lesbian scene that emerged in the Bay Area during the 1990s.
This free event will feature a screening of Safe Is Desire (1993), “a groundbreaking lesbian safer sex film produced by Fatale Media and directed by Debi Sundahl. The film, praised for its bold representation of lesbian sexuality and commitment to sexual health, was a pioneering work at the intersection of feminist porn and queer sexual health politics,” an event representative said.
A panel discussion will accompany the screening. The panel will be moderated by Lynn Comella, Ph.D., professor and co-founder of UNLV's Sexual Entertainment and Economies Collecting Initiative.
Panelists include:
The event will be held on Friday, May 16, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Folsom Center, located at 1286 Folsom Street (at 9th Street) in San Francisco. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and early arrival is recommended.
The evening is co-sponsored by Center for Sex and Culture, PinkLabel.TV, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Sexual Entertainment and Economies Collection.
