Lesbians didn't always get to see themselves on screen. But between Stonewall, the feminist movement, and the experimental cinema of the 1970s, they built visibility, and transformed the social imagination about queerness. Filmmakers Barbara Hammer, Su Friedrich, Rose Troche, Cheryl Dunye, Yoruba Richen, Desiree Akhavan, Vicky Du, film critic B. Ruby Rich, Jenni Olson, and others share moving and often hilarious stories from their lives and discuss how they've expressed queer identity through film.

Su Friedrich (*1954, USA) is one of the most important contemporary experimental filmmakers and a pioneer of Queer Cinema. Her linking of formal experiments in the tradition of structural film, narrative elements and a feminist analysis of power structures and social codes has been honored with retrospectives all around the globe, i.a. at the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum New York.

From October 24th till 27th, Filmkollektiv Frankfurt e.V. will host the first retrospective of Su Friedrich in Germany, with films and video works from 1979 to 2016.
