Documentary
In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction
United States – 2022
Synopsis
This film documents the history and impact of lesbian fiction from the 1920’s through the 1990’s. Narrator Lillian Faderman recounts the impact key world events had on LGBTQ+ history throughout the decades.
With interviews from numerous trailblazing lesbian authors, including Ann Bannon, Rita Mae Brown, Jewel Gomez, and Sarah Waters, we learn how these world events helped shape their stories and to what extent the stories were reflections of the authors’ own lives as they looked for affirmation and their place in the world.
After the screening on Wednesday 27th, there will be a discussion with director Lisa Marie Evans and Siri Lindstad.
