An exploration - with clips - of how representation of LGBTQ+ people has shifted in cinema, as part of this year's LGBT History Month.
About the event
The theme for this year's LGBT History Month is 'Behind The Lens'. It references art in the national curriculum and will be an opportunity to celebrate the many achievements and contributions of the work and lives of the forgotten or seldom seen LGBTQ+ people behind the stage, cinema and TV cameras – directors, screen writers, designers, technician, costume, make-up artists and more!
Our more enlightened representations of gender in film and tv have come a long way from the time of Billy Wilder's 'Some Like it Hot' in 1959 or Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 'In the Year of Thirteen Moons' in 1979.
Join us for an evening of stimulating visual exploration researched by students from the University of Westminster with an introduction by Professor Pippa Catterall.
