Shot on black and white 16mm and prototypically indie with its DIY aesthetic, use of mostly non-actors, and focus on community and authenticity, GO FISH was, nonetheless, a breakthrough arthouse release upon its release and was a major part of the queer film revolution of the 1990s. This staple of Brattle programming stars Guinevere Turner as a beautiful, hip young woman whose well-meaning roommate sets her up with the seemingly mismatched Ely (Brodie), an older bohemian who initially doesn’t seem to be her type.
