Those Happy Endings
Shakespeare said it best, “all’s well that ends well”. Tonight we cap off the evening with mirth, mischief and mysterious moustaches.

Not Straight Forward
Jennifer Ting/USA/2004/video/60 min
Meet Tan Vo, a 25 year-old butch virgin, as she is sent on 10 dates with 10 different women. A hilarious look into the wacky world of lesbian dating, we see Tan turn on the charm all over Seattle, from gay bingo halls to sex toy stores or even just during a potentially romantic walk on the beach. Her prospective suitors are just as varied as the dates themselves: everyone from a local rancher to a closeted military woman to a future sex educator. This full-length documentary take on reality-tv will have you laughing out loud as commitment-phobe Tan struggles to choose who to take on her second date. This is as true to life as it gets.
