Lesbian with a Movie Camera

As part of LGBT History Month Scotland, we present a lovingly-curated selection of indie, punk, and DIY lesbian shorts from across half a century of filmmaking, featuring known names and unsung (s)heroes alike.  Ranging from the hilarious to the experimental, the programme features a rare screening of Caroline Sheldon’s witty and subversive 17 Rooms (Or What Do Lesbians Do in Bed?). Scheduled in 1986 for a prime slot on Channel Four’s pioneering In The Pink season, Sheldon’s film was scandalously pulled at the last minute – not because of any explicit content but because it was thought audiences might object to its title.

This is a free, unticketed event; donations are very much appreciated and will collected after the screening.  The screening is on the ground floor of our venue Transmission. Accessible toilet available. Films shown will include captions for better D/deaf and hard of hearing access.
