Tape Two puts sex and gender in focus, from the steamy and mysterious Butch/Femme to the thoughtful BoyGirl, via Kiss & Tell's confrontations with sexual representation.

Butch/Femme in Paradise 1988 5:00
This sexy lesbian fantasy film, shot on the beautiful British Columbia coast, follows the moves of a sullen butch as she chases an elusive sex goddess. The work is a potent mix of fast paced dynamic editing and a strange richness of soundtrack.
Butch /Femme In Paradise has been screened extensively at gay and lesbian festivals across North America and Europe. At the 1988 Northwest Film and Video Festival, it was awarded an Honourable Mention.

Drawing The Line, 1992 7:30
A tape about the photo exhibition of the same name created by Kiss & Tell, a group of lesbian artists (Persimmon Blackbridge, Lizard Jones, Susan Stewart). Spectators/participants/voyeurs were invited to write comments on the walls about images depicting a range of sexual practices between women. The soundtrack is equal part girls-making out and the voices of the women who produced and/or experienced the show. Chock full of comments on the most debated aspects of erotica and porn, Drawing The Line steps into the fray as a solid documentation of a pulse-taking art event.

True Inversions, 1992 26:00
A gutsy, in-your-crotch lesbian sex fest that self consciously interrupts the fun to reveal "the real" and interrogate the many levels of fantasy at play in lesbian sexual representation.
"I most definitely do not endorse this... this abhorrent lesbian show. " Ken Kowalski, Deputy Premier of Alberta

BoyGirl, 1999 14:00
What happens to tomboys when they grow up? In Boy Girl, three women talk about childhood gender choices. Their experiences range from always being mistaken for a man to one who had a modeling career based on her androgyny.
