Océane Michel and Cyprien Vial / Subtitled, Narrative Feature, Saturday, Oct. 6 / France / 2017 / 86 mins

There’s a bit of a stereotype around lesbians: that they stay friends with their exes. For Océanerosemarie (director Océane Michel), this is a bit of an understatement. See, Océane has many exes. Many. Many, many. And she’s friends with every last one of them.

Program 10: Anchor and Hope (Tierra firme)

Carlos Marques-Marcet / Subtitled, Narrative Feature, Saturday, Oct. 6 / Spain, UK / 2017 / 113 mins

One of the most refreshing things about Anchor and Hope is that sexual orientation isn’t really a plot point. Nobody comes out. There are no homophobic characters or issues. It’s essentially a romantic comedy/drama that happens to feature a lesbian couple rather than a straight one. A breath of fresh air, truly.

It’s a big deal, to be sure, but just as she’s ready to head out, she gets a panicked phone call from her best friend Apple (Elizabeth Oropesa).
