Immortal, Invisible: Lesbians and the Moving Image
is the first collection to bring together leading film-makers, academics and activists to discuss films by, for and about lesbians and queer women. The contributors debate the practice of lesbian and queer film-making, from the queer cinema of Monika Treut to the work of lesbian film-makers Andrea Weiss and Greta Schiller. They explore the pleasures and problems of lesbian spectatorship, both in mainstream Hollywood films including
Aliens
and
Red Sonja
, and in independent cinema from
She Must be Seeing Things
to
Salmonberries
Desert Hearts
. The authors tackle tricky questions: can a film such as
Strictly Ballroom
be both pleasurably camp and heterosexist? Is it ok to drool over dyke icons like Sigourney Weaver and kd lang? What makes a film lesbian, or queer, or even post-queer? What about showing sex on screen? And why do lesbian screen romances hardly ever have happy endings?
Immortal, Invisible
is splendidly illustrated with a selection of images from film and television texts.
