Director Céline Sciamma's 18th century sapphic love story can be enjoyed simply for the beauty of it's images, the great performances by Noémie Merlant, Adèle Haenel and Luàna Bajrami, or as an all too human tale of love and loss. It was also seen as a great step forward in queer representation on screen and the ability of openly gay women to tell their own stories. 

The normal panel of Eric Trommater, Sila Blume and Erin Brown were augmented this week by four diverse voices within the queer women's film world.
