  • Fabulous! the Story of Queer Cinema
    The Independent Film Channel Presents: An Orchard Films Production Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema Directed and Produced by Lisa Ades & Lesli Klainberg PUBLICITY AND ARTWORK, PLEASE CONTACT: Sophie Evans Manager, Consumer PR Kristen Andersen – PR Coordinator T: (917) 542-6336 T: (917) 542-6339 E: [email protected] E: [email protected] Synopsis: Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema explores the emergence of gay and lesbian films from the beginning of the gay rights movement in the 1960s to the “New Queer Cinema” of the 90s, the proliferation and influence of gay and lesbian films festivals, the discovery by the film business of the gay market; the explosion of gay images in the mainstream media and the current phenomenon of all things gay. The story of gay and lesbian cinema is closely related to the world surrounding it, and the use of popular culture is a backdrop against which the film examines important cultural, political and social moments- and movements that intersect with gay life. “Sex on the screen means something different for gay and lesbian audiences than for straight audiences because we’ve never been allowed to see it. If bodies that we can’t imagine being together are together, if women are rolling around in bed, if men are doing something more in the locker room than just simply taking a shower…all of these groundbreaking scenes of explicit sexuality have a meaning and a power that go beyond similar scenes for heterosexuals. It has to be there for audiences because for so long we were told ‘Oh no, they aren’t really gay because we have no proof that they ever did that’ there’s a sense that’s like – show me the money!” - B.

    Rose Troche: I worked at a movie theater from the time I was 15, to 21, and in that time, Personal Best and Making Love were both playing at the theater. And I was just like, everybody's coming to this theater's gay, 'cause both of these movies are gay. I think everybody that I was serving popcorn to, was just very fascinated [00:00:30] by, you know, who are you, like what's your story? I decided to make Go Fish, about the lesbian identity. And it was around the same time, that I wanted to become a film maker, that I was discovering this alternate sexuality. Speaker 2: What made you take the plunge when you first saw me? Speaker 3: I was drunk. Speaker 2: No, you were not. Rose Troche: And they sort of went hand in hand. Their hands have never stopped handing and handing, which brings me to this documentary, [00:01:00] and being an old gay. Speaker 4: Yeah, see you later. Ally Sheedy: See you. Speaker 6: When it's time for love making, Dan kisses Sue, and touches her breasts. Women often find this sensation ... B. Ruby Rich: [00:01:30] When I was very young, I don't think I ever saw any lesbians in film, or popular culture, only in books. And even [00:02:00] coming of age later, in college, post college, the examples were really much more from literature, than they were from film. It was all about Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas, Djuna Barnes and Nightwood, Renee Vivian.
