Jodie is a fast paced, breezy look at the transatlantic phenomenon
that has made Hollywood actress Jodie Foster an icon for lesbians who identify
with, adore and celebrate the screen personas of her remarkable career. Fans
and queer cultural critics share their favorite ‘iconic’ moments giving
illuminating lesbian readings of Foster’s key films which trace the charismatic
actor’s progression from early tomboy parts as a child star to mature
performances depicting active, strong willed women with attitude. The film
captures the Jodie Foster look alike contest in San Francisco and a visually
slick montage of views on Foster’s butch femme indeterminacy all help to
confirm Foster’s status as a dyke icon.
A Pratibha Parmar/WMM film. 24 minutes.
