The Joy of Life

2005 · 1 hr 5 mins

A blending of documentary and experimental narrative strategies, combining stunning 16mm landscape cinematography with a bold, lyrical voice-over to share two San Francisco stories: the history of the Golden Gate Bridge as “suicide landmark,” and the story of a butch dyke in San Francisco searching for love and self-discovery. The Joy of Life is a film about landscapes, both physical and emotional.

Director: Jenni Olson

Cast: Harry Dodge, Lawrence Ferlinghetti
