CONTENT WARNING:
Pie is a sweet girl who moves into a new college dorm room where she finds out that her new roommate Kim, is a tomboy who looks and dress like a boy. As their friendship develops, Pie and Kim begin to wonder if the feeling they feel for one another is just an ordinary friendship or true love.
This film is presented in Thai with English subtitles.
Joins us for a disarmingly sweet tale of two Thai students who must decide whether they are brave enough to live lesbian lives. The first feature film in Thailand to be promoted as a lesbian film, Yes or No? has been an impressive success. Five years in the making, this disarmingly sweet film has been shown in cinemas across Thailand, made a modest profit at the box office and gained a best director nomination at the Thai equivalent to the Oscars. The plot focuses on the forthright Pie and more gentle Kim who are thrown together at university halls of residence. As Pie begins to let go of the prejudices she has inherited from her mother and Kim comes to terms with her tom (butch) identity, the pair become close friends and have to consider whether they are brave enough to be more than that.

FREE

Brattle Theater
in person
Got it Bad for the Wrong Girl? From the director of the festival circuit hit Hannah Free comes Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together, a romantic musical comedy that tells the story of two queer girls whose codependent, loyal friendship is fraught with erotic tension. Jamie is moving from Chicago to Brooklyn with hopes of becoming a Broadway actress. Her best friend Jessica is bummed because she thinks she’s in love with Jamie. As moving day gets closer, Jessica tries to make Jamie jealous by dating other women, but Jessica’s plan backfires in a way she could never imagine. Within this world of love and lust, Jamie and Jessie must figure out how to grow together, or how to grow apart. “Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together is a sweet, appealing musical comedy,” Roger Ebert.
Jamie is moving in two weeks from Chicago to New York hoping to become a Broadway actress. Her best friend Jessica is bummed because she’s not-so-secretly in love with Jamie. As moving day gets closer, Jessica tries to make Jamie jealous by dating other girls. But Jessica’s plan backfires, in a way she could never imagine. Set in working class Chicago and infused with musical dance numbers, “Jamie and Jessie are Not Together” is a love letter to those gray areas of love and lust and to the young romances we will never forget.
