Since its prestigious debut as the opening night film of the Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama section (where it went on to win the juried Teddy Award), Tomboy has won numerous awards including “Best Feature Film” at the 2011 Torino International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, the “Audience Award” for Best Feature at the 2011 San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, and the “Jury Prize” for Best Feature at the 2011 Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. In addition, the film is nominated for “Outstanding Film – Limited Release” at the 2012 GLAAD Media Awards. And now, you can own a copy!
Tomboy tells the story of 10-year-old Laure (played by the amazing Zoe Heran) who moves to the suburbs and decides to pass as a boy amongst the pack of neighborhood kids. As “Mikael” she catches the attention of leader of the pack Lisa, who becomes smitten with her. Finding resourceful ways to hide her true self, Laure takes advantage of her new identity, as if the end of the summer would never reveal her unsettling secret.

Bound, is my total fav. Ive seen it dozens of times. I know Hedwigs not completely lesbian but its a close second. Then of course there’s Imagine Me and You. I get lost in Lena Headeys eyes everytime. But Im a Cheerleader is a classic. Jamie Babbit did another excellent job in Itty Bitty. Drove to the Gay and Lesbian Film Fest in Tampa to see that one a few years ago. Cant wait to see Jack and Diane.
