New York filmmaker Su Friedrich is known internationally for her evocative, lyrical films, including the personal and autobiographical Gently Down the Stream, Ties that Bind and Sink or Swim. Of her most recent film, Hide and Seek, she has said she "hoped to reveal the imaginary universe of young lesbians and to dispel some of the myths that have darkened our dreams." The imaginary which emerges is not only the private, fanciful world children construct to cope with the world, but a feminist imaginary which is basic to adult identity and strength. Constructed from a narrative set in the 1960s, an array of snapshots of lesbians when they were young girls, and interviews with lesbian adults who recall their childhoods, Hide and Seek reveals complex and differing attitudes towards emerging sexuality and the ways in which childhood effects adulthood. The recurring narrative featuring a young tomboy, Lou, and her friends beautifully evokes the sensual world of young girls-slumber parties, dancing together in the living room, intimate games. With Rules of the Road (1993, 31 mins, Color), a humorous meditation on obsession, zeroing in on the filmmaker's ex-girlfriend's car.-Kathy Geritz
