Sappho was considered the best lyrical poet of ancient Greece. She is also well known as a symbol of love and desire between women. Her birthplace island Lesbos, which was used then as a descriptive noun of origin, gave rise to the term lesbian for female homosexuality. And this is what this selection of films celebrates.  

Η Σαπφώ θεωρούταν η καλύτερη λυρική ποιήτρια της αρχαιότητας και η ονομασία προέλευσής της έγινε συνώνυμο του έρωτα μεταξύ γυναικών.
