"Water Lilies" Preceded by "No Bikini" March 7, 2008

Set in the suburbs of Paris, Water Lilies (Celine Sciamma, 2007) has charmed audiences internationally with its achingly acute depiction of teenage girls wrestling with friendship, heterosexual and same-sex crushes, and the ordinary cruelty of adolescents, as played out by a trio of girls hanging out at the municipal swimming pool one fateful summer. (82 mins., 35mm)

No Bikini (Claudia Morgado Escanilla, 2007) is a touching short from Canada that’s as much about finding inner strength as it is about gender discovery. (8 mins. 35mm)
