         Dear Girl         Double Vision

Dear Girl

Synopsis:
about four socialist feminist friends at the turn of this century. Ruth, Eva, Francoise and Minna were close friends living in London in the first quarter of this century. Their relationships with each other were strong, passionate and committed, and rather than being secondary to marriage and families, they formed, as Ruth put it, 'the foundation of their lives'. They were each other's 'dear girls', 'precious friends', 'dearest loves'. They sustained and supported each other through periods of heavy religious and family involvement, into the turmoil and excitement of the changes brought about by the first wave of feminism in the early 1900s.

Double Vision

Synopsis:
Two women meet in a pub. One is playing pool. The other is handing out leaflets about a demonstration. One likes Dusty Springfield and Shirley Bassey. The other likes Dusty Springfield and The Clash. They both watch Dallas. They are immediately attracted to each other, but that's just the beginning of the story that the two actresses and musician will tell. . .DOUBLE VISION is a delightful and provoking exploration of the two women's relationship - their similarities and dissimilarities, their political and personal conflicts despite the 'Double Vision' they share of the world - and their attempts to change themselves as much as they are trying to change 'the world outside'. DOUBLE VISION is about the impact of feminism on our personal lives and about the way women are taking up political issues.
