The Joy of Life (2005) + Blue Diary (1998)

This screening features two poignant films co-presented by Frameline, introduced by filmmaker Jenni Olson. The Joy of Life (2005) is a lyrical exploration of a butch dyke's journey of love and self-discovery in San Francisco, enriched with stunning cinematography and a voiceover that dives deep into lesbian sexuality and the city's history. Blue Diary (1998) is an experimental short that reflects on the melancholy of longing through the lens of a one-night stand, portrayed through voiceover and San Francisco landscapes.
