French film Blue is the warmest colour caused a stir last year with its explicit sex scenes, but how realistic were they? In a world where a surprising number of people seem unable to imagine what two women do in bed together, how accurately can films reflect our sex-lives? And what makes good sex anyway? Join our expert panel for this film and discussion event for lesbian and bisexual women. Panel members include DIVA magazine editor Jane Czyzselska, film director Campbell X and stand-up comedian Kerry Leigh. Well be watching some intimate scenes from films through the ages and discussing what makes good sex, both on and off screen. With free food and refreshments, of course! This event is free and is supported by the Manchester Pride Fringe Fund and the Big Lottery.
