When archiving memorable films from Reelout’s 20 years, one thing was undeniable, in our earlier years, Reelout was far more risk-taking and subversive when it came to depicting sex and sexuality on the big screen when we first began. While LGBTQ Canadians still struggled for human rights Reelout made no apologies in creating a space that defiantly said, EVERYWHERE ELSE IS YOURS, THIS SPACE IS QUEER. And nothing says 110% queer film and video than honest and explicit sexuality depicted on screen. So FAIR WARNING this is one of four specially-designed shorts programs that has been carefully curated for mature queer audiences that will include explicit nudity and sexual activities VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED and only MATURE AUDIENCES 18 years + will be admitted.
AISLES OF LESBOS (1999-2018) we are filling the theatre from aisle to aisle with short films celebrating female sexuality and relationships in all their glory (and mediocrity) We trust you’ll bring your sisters, lovers and friends to join us so we ensure this program lives up to its name! You’ll see memorable film and video from Reelout’s past years and the latest and best lesbian short films from 2018. We hope these films will tickle you pink.

Meanwhile, two “Porn Star Lesbians” go at it in a 70’s bedroom set behind McLeod during this monologue who is oblivious to their existence. Ginger Discovery and Lucky Chopps give a full-on, over-the-top performance that is charged with campy choreography and cheesy slapstick.
