The story of a love affair and its demise through one of the objects shared by the couple : an old beige station wagon with fake wood paneling.

‘Damned if you don't’ layers three stories about love between nuns and lesbians : the contemporary story of a young woman seducing a nun ; excerpts of Otto Preminger's film ‘Black Narcissus’ ; and finally, the trial in court of a nun during the Italian Renaissance. The three stories aim to shine a critical light on the heterosexual ‘order’, by depicting female desire in a way never before seen.

The screening

Born in Connecticut in 1954, Su Friedrich is an avant-garde, American filmmaker, and a pioneer in the world of queer cinema and lesbian culture. Full of humour, her movies take a tong-in-cheek look at lesbian lives and culture.
