Academic but light-hearted, FtF features a host of fabulous femmes, including actress/writer Guinivere Turner, rock stars Bitch (Bitch + Animal) and Leslie Mah (Tribe8), as well as activists, artists, writers, and academics discussing how they came to their own brand of femme identity. FtF celebrates dyke femme identities and an understanding of femininity as multiple rather than singular, constructed rather than natural, and as potentially radical on someone "born female" as masculinity, which has lately been given a great deal of privilege in the dyke community. Letters To Dolly (Haley Ausserer, US, 2005), a series of video letters to Dolly Parton exploring femininity through the public persona of the star. Videos From the “Feminism?” Project (Amber Hawk Swanson, US 2005-06): Re-enactments of interviews the artist conducted with a selection of women, beginning with members of her sorority and ending with her mother. Rated F (Donna Lee & Terra Poirer, Canada, 2005): Blunt revelations of intimacies between women. Video, Total: 92 min.3:30 "Feminism & Gender Identity" panel discussion with filmmakers Kami Chisholm, Amber Hawk Swanson, and Sam Feder following the screening of Boy I Am
