Girls on Film: Cinematic Tales of Young Lesbian Love
This week on Out Takes we’re joined by Michal Vinik, director of BARASH, to look at some of cinema’s most compelling and daring lesbian love stories.

Described as the Israeli Blue Is the Warmest Color, BARASH vividly captures the heady energy and infatuation of youth, set against the backdrop of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It screens this November as part of the Jewish International Film Festival.
We also take a look at some of the defining lesbian love stories of New Queer Cinema; the explosion of queer film making in the early nineties – think GO FISH for instance, the 1994 American lesbian-themed independent drama from Rose Troche, which won a GLAAD Media Award for best feature film, and THE INCREDIBLY TRUE ADVENTURES OF TWO GIRLS IN LOVE, a 1995 telling of two very different high school girls who fall in love.
Essential viewing: Blue is the Warmest Colour (2013, Dir. Abdellatif Kechiche)
Hungry for more: Barash (2016, Dir. Michal Vinik) and Go Fish (1994, Dir. Rose Troche)
