GO FISH

Opens on May 13

Director: Rose Troche Run Time: 83 min. Release Year: 1994

Starring: Anastasia Sharp, Guinevere Turner, Migdalia Melendez, T. Wendy McMillan, V.S. Brodie

Max (co-writer Guinevere Turner) a young, lesbian, college student living in Chicago is in a romantic dry spell. Her roommate Kia (T. Wendy McMillan), sets Max up with Ely (V.S. Brodie), an older woman that Max initially dismisses but ultimately falls for, until it’s revealed that Ely may already be committed.

An integral film of the 90s American indie boom, and a staple of queer cinema for three decades, Rose Troche’s (Bedrooms and Hallways, TV’s The L-Word) refreshingly honest, romantic comedy/drama GO FISH is an admirably DIY portrait of community and connection set in the bustling metropolis of early 90s Chicago. Shot in 16mm black and white and featuring a cast of largely unprofessional actors, GO FISH feels as indebted to the style and structure of documentary as it does other American indie narratives. Cinématgoraphe is proud to present Rose Troche’s now iconic portrait of queer identity in a brand new 4K restoration from its original 16mm negatives
