LADY TROJANS
Elizabeth Hesik
USA 2008
Video 57 min
While other burgeoning queers floundered for belonging in towns across America during the early nineties, one girls’ basketball team at a high school outside Tucson formed a tight‐knit community of athletic lesbians. Lady Trojans looks back at this pocket of lesbian awakening in Catalina, Arizona. The story focuses on Anna as she and her former teammates reminisce about the days of their sexual exploration, partner‐jumping and falling in and out of love with each other.
VHS home movies, interviews with the Lady Trojans, and footage of the players on and off the court reveal the universally complicated playbook of youthful sexuality—feelings we can all relate to, whether we have our own Lady Trojans or not.
CANADIAN PREMIERE
THE BOYS IN THE POOL
Louis Dupont
France
2008 Video 54 min
From the court to the pool, here’s a take on another rarity. Set in France, Louis Dupont’s beautiful documentary shines a light on three gay men training to compete in the International synchronized swimming event at the Eurogames in Barcelona. With the support of their tough‐love coach Isabelle, the men train under a vigorous schedule and bond as the competition approaches.
Dupont’s unobtrusive filming reveals the swimmers at their leisure, bodies taut and toned, practicing torso moves and dancing to the music of their routine. These athletes are not merely driven to win, but are passionate about the potential for synchronized swimming to eclipse its status as a less‐than sport, and to pave the way for all athletes so that they might have the opportunity to compete equally in any sport they choose, regardless of gender.
