Jenny
Teenage love, labels, and looking sideways.
Jenny is a teenage girl in a same-sex relationship, and JENNY lets her speak plainly about it. She talks about what the relationship means to her, how she sees the lesbian scene, and how others see her. There’s no sweeping drama or moral panic – just an honest portrait of one young person navigating identity, attraction and assumptions. Made in 1978, it’s one of the rare screen documents of queer youth from the era – clear-eyed, unsentimental and ahead of its time.
