Women directors don't have it easy and lesbian directors in particular face serious problems producing their work. The documentary Lavender Limelight focuses on seven prominent lesbian filmmakers and examines both the frustrations and the ecstasies inherent in their art. Interviews with directors such as Jennie Livingston (Paris Is Burning) and Monika Treut (Virgin Machine) illuminate the process of filmmaking with insightful answers to penetrating questions, often exposing the tenacious sense of humor required to succeed in the business. Clips from films, including The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love and Go Fish, help anchor the artist's words in their work and show the wide range of styles and subjects these women choose to cover. Inspiring to young directors and enlightening to those seeking diversity in their media diet, Lavender Limelight is well worth repeat viewing. --Rob Lightner
