We're excited to keep you in the loop on all things Frameline (with no spam - ever!)
Often called “the pioneer of lesbian gaze,” iconic San Francisco photographer Honey Lee Cottrell was a student at San Francisco State University when she made this lustful, elliptical exploration of female fantasy and self-love. Originally screening at Frameline5 in 1981 and starring Patrick Califia (then Pat Califia), Sweet Dreams was produced by Dr. Ted Mcilvenna for The National Sex Forum; this 2K restoration was created/supplied by Vinegar Syndrome.
A wealthy politician hires lesbian detective Mélinda after receiving a mysterious porno film starring her estranged son in Paul Vecchiali’s wildly entertaining bisexual triple-X film noir. The case soon leads Mélinda directly to the Shanghai Lily, a den of iniquity populated by lusty and duplicitous femmes fatales.
