And Queer Film Night got started with a documentary!

Rebel Dykes (2021) directed by Harri Shanahan and Sian A. Williams fittingly pitched as “the explosion that happened when punk met feminism, told through the lives of a gang of lesbians in the riotous London of the 1980”.

A bold defence of the opening a lesbian fetish club in London and subsequent conflicts with a branch of feminism which read SM practices as fundamentally rooted in the power dynamics of patriarchy. Intellectually *and* visually engaging, for those who have missed the first screening this is a film worth watching. Available on Channel 4 apparently 🙂
