Directed by Sascha Rice, 2003, USA, 86 minutes. Starring Daniele Ferraro, Michelle Wolff and Sally Kirkland.
This colorful roleplay romp follows best-friends-turned-lovers, Sassafras and Lou, as they journey to San Francisco and tumble into a wild and wonderful lesbian world of S/M tops and bottoms, daddies and princesses. Ah, what to choose next?!? Charting these enticing non-monogamous waters, they work out a seemingly foolproof plan – different lovers with different roles – but all swirls to a head at a raucous party to which everyone’s invited.

Directed by Mistress Sidonia von Bork, 2004, USA, 10 minutes/excerpt. Starring Mistress Sidonia von Bork and Leather Slave.

Slaves
Directed by Ich Bin Niemand, 2003, USA, 101 minutes
Graphic and unsettling, this documentary-style look at controversial artist R.C. Horsch lays out in rich detail the intensely controlling sadomasochistic relationships he maintains with seven different women. As each of them recounts and explicitly re-enacts the degree of power that he wields over their sexuality and their daily lives – even their very existence – we are reminded that each holds the key to her own ultimate freedom and we see the strength that resides in the choice of submission.
