Dry Kisses Only

Dry Kisses Only uses the post-modern technique of hypertext to take us on a noisy, fun and absolutely euphoric journey through the history of classic cinema, popular culture and street culture, to explore the terrible absence of lesbian subjectivity in the images around us. Women may be the underdogs in the man-woman binomial, but lesbians do not even exist, since a woman who does not expect to spend her life at a man’s side is a fundamental threat to the preservation of the unequal power that pervades our lives.

Dry Kisses Only, Kaucyila Brooke and Jane Cottis. USA-Germany, 1990, video, 75 min.
