Followed by a conversation with Annette Kennerley and Selina Robertson (Club des Femmes).

Annette Kennerley

From the late 80s through to the late 90s, East London based artist-filmmaker Annette Kennerley created a unique and deeply personal body of 16mm films that explore the dynamics of queer relationships, transgender lives and experiences of motherhood. They are emotionally frank, poetic, witty and sexy. Shooting intimate straight-to-camera interviews with transgender people, Annette made several documentaries and co-directed the International Transgender Film Festival at the Lux Cinema, London in the late 90s. She has a degree in Fine Art (film & video) from Saint Martin's School of Art, London and was a member of the London Filmmakers' Coop. Her work has been screened at cinemas and film festivals nationally and internationally.

Selina Robertson

Selina Robertson is a film curator and writer whose research focuses on feminist and queer filmmaking and exhibition. She has worked as a film programmer in film exhibition for over 20 years at the BFI, The Film Council and the Independent Cinema Office. In 2003-2005 she co-programmed the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. In 2007 she co-founded queer feminist curating collective Club des Femmes with Sarah Wood. Club des Femmes partners with cinemas, film festivals, cinematheques, galleries, museums and academic institutions in the UK and Europe. Their most recent project Sun Sex and Socialism: The Cinema of Stephanie Rothman brought the new restorations of Rothman’s films to UK audiences in July-August 2025. She is an associate lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London.
