Cecilia Neant-Falk "Are you there? A girl who is attracted to both boys and girls?" Don’t Worry, it Will Probably Pass is an unencumbered look at three girls who responded to this ad in an internet chat room. This was the same classified ad the filmmaker, Cecilia Neant-Falk had passed in a magazine some 15 years earlier when she too was a lonely, confused teenager. Using the internet this time, she begins her exploration of the coming out experience for a new generation of queer girls. From the overwhelming response to the ad, she finds three young women, My, Natalie and Joppe, and armed with their own cameras, each girl recorded her secrets, desires and anxieties over a 4-year period with minimal intrusion from the filmmaker. The result is an engaging, intimate portrait of teenage girls coming to terms with their sexuality and the raw emotions entangled in the process. Just when you thought the coming out genre could no longer pique your interest, this visually and emotionally provocative documentary offers a privileged peak into the minds of young women through their own eyes.
