Episode 4: Fatale Video's SUBURBAN DYKES (1991) and SAFE IS DESIRE (1993)

On this episode of Cruising the Movies, Liz and KJ discuss two classic dyke porn shorts: Fatale Video's SAFE IS DESIRE and SUBURBAN DYKES. Born from the same minds who created On Our Backs magazine, Fatale was the first adult film studio dedicated to making movies by and for lesbians, showcasing lesbian sex and sexuality in a way rarely seen in movies before: diverse, kinky, funny, and above all hot. Our hosts explain how Fatale brought the spirit of On Our Backs into film, why they successfully merged heavy kink and safe sex in SAFE IS DESIRE, and how they took on the myth of lesbian bed death in SUBURBAN DYKES. And if that isn't enough, Liz then interviews the producer of both videos, Nan Kinney!  You can catch both films—and Nan!—at our monthly screening series at the IFC Center, on Monday July 22nd at 7 pm.
