THE WATERMELON WOMAN + RECEPTION | Outfest Fusion LGBT People of Color Film Festival

US Premiere of new digital restoration IN PERSON: Cheryl Dunye, Guinevere Turner Cheryl (writer/director Dunye), a twenty-something black lesbian, makes a documentary about a beautiful film actress identified only as “The Watermelon Woman.” Delving into the project, Cheryl explores a budding love affair with Diana (Guinevere Turner), and contemplates the complexities of race, gender, and romance in the ‘90s. Notably the first feature film directed by an African American lesbian, THE WATERMELON WOMAN was celebrated at the 1996 Berlin Film Festival where it won the prestigious Teddy Award. In honor of its 20th anniversary, we are proud to present this new digital restoration from the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project and 13th Gen.
