To celebrate its 25th anniversary, we are screening Kissing Jessica Stein followed by a film discussion in the cinema. Is the film significant in the lesbian film canon? Is it problematic? Do you like the ending? Would this be made today? Feel free to speak your mind in the discussion.
Jessica, a Jewish copy editor living and working in New York City, is plagued by failed blind dates with men, and decides to answer a newspaper's personal advertisement. The advertisement has been placed by 'lesbian-curious' Helen Cooper, a thirtysomething art gallerist.
