Two years ago nine people gathered at the ESHC to watch Rebel Dykes. It was a one-off screening and we had no idea how Queer Film Night would grow, and that many more screenings would follow.
Join us to (re-)watch this incredible film. We will have a discussion and a drink after the film, like in the old days.
This film tells the story of UK post-punk dyke culture, told by those who lived it, in all their ass-kicking, leather-wearing glory. The film follows a tight-knit group of friends who met at Greenham Common peace camp and went on to become artists, performers, musicians and activists in London. A heady mash-up of animation, archive footage and interviews tells the story of a radical scene: squatters, BDSM nightclubs, anti-Thatcher rallies, protests demanding action around AIDS and the fierce ties of chosen family.
The venue is wheelchair accessible and the film has closed captions. If you have specific access needs please let us know.
