Sally's Beauty Spot

Independent filmmaker Helen Lee is known for her provocative explorations of race, identity and gender in her films and writing. I recently came upon her first film, Sally's Beauty Spot (1990).


It is an eloquent exploration of sexuality, identity and the confusion that accompanies the process of self-discovery. These themes have always been of interest to me and it was inspiring to discover Helen's work. I look forward to watching her other films, which are distributed by Women Make Movies.
