Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same

Post-screening conversation with some of our favorite local lesbians, Allegra Madsen and Maria Breaux!

Presented by Frameline

For Lesbian Visibility Week 2024, Frameline, The Curve Foundation, and the Roxie Theater are banding together to create a place for lesbians to see and be seen — and with the freedom to be silly. With this screening of Madeleine Olnek’s hilariously sapphic send-up of sci-fi B movies, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, we’re even expanding lesbian visibility into intergalactic territory. Followed by a panel of hot takes with real live lesbians!

Danger! The lesbians are coming! When the ozone layer of planet Zots starts to disappear due to an overabundance of emotion, a trio of shiny-headed lesbian space aliens are sent to Planet Earth to rid themselves of their own romantic yearnings in a last-stitch effort to save their home planet! Olnek (Wild Nights with Emily) mixes wit and tongue-in-cheek humor within an Ed Wood pastiche of Manhattan for this utterly delightful celebration of queer women.
