In a social context where lesbians are invariably invisible, lesbians’ “sex” seems to have no material existence and remains poorly understood. In actuality, lesbians’ sexual feelings, desires, messaging by “pheromones” have always been vibrant and momentous. From the daytime office to the glamorous night T-bar, the lesbian’s desire runs rampant, her feelings grow unchecked, her sex appeal dominates. |

【Entangled Bodies】Films' Introduction：
Her

I, me, myself... and mine. She, and her, and her and her. Desire with and for the selves.
Song Of The Goddess
Ellen PAU∣1992∣Hong Kong∣Experimental∣Color∣7min∣Without dialogues
The work pays tribute to the famous Cantonese Opera duo, YAM Kim-fai and PAK Suet-sin, both women who play the role of lovers, with Yam in male drag. The couple worked together on stage and in films. They were so popular that Yam was named “The Silver Screen Lover.” Yam never married and mostly lived with Pak. When Tam died in 1991, Pak arranged her funeral and wrote a banner saying “I would die a hundred times to bring you back to me.” In this video, their film, The Emperor Lee and their life story are woven together to tell tales of dying a hundred times and forever, reality and illusions, past and present, parted and together.
