Continuing “The Female Gaze” series of films by and for women, IFFO celebrates queer women on screen during Capital Pride week with THE VENUS EFFECT, a queer romantic comedy about daring to love another person and oneself – a warm, funny tale about family and finding yourself in love. Level-headed Liv falls for pink-haired Andrea who lives in a camper. Is it worth Liv blowing up her life to be with the first woman she’s ever fallen for?
After the screening, Tish Chambers (“The Female Gaze” programmer) will host a talk with Canadian filmmaker Jessie Posthumus (Rocket Fuel) and the audience about the film and the themes of queerness and family. Join in the discussion!
