Upon Her Lips: Open Secrets

Directed by Samira Karimi

A quintet of international lesbian short films, the latest in its popular Upon Her Lips collection. These films aim to tempt you with secret desires in the brightest of days or the darkest of nights. Two schoolgirls in Iran try covering up a misdemeanour whilst a Spanish couple’s weekend retreat means navigating family dynamics. In 19th century Germany, a peasant clairvoyant has the villagers gossiping whilst in present-day New Zealand, a woman uses laughter to let go. For these emboldened women, sexuality becomes the least of their worries
