Immortal, Invisible: Lesbians and the Moving Imageis the first collection to bring together leading film-makers, academics and activists to discuss films by, for and about lesbians and queer women. The contributors debate the practice of lesbian and queer film-making, from the queer cinema of Monika Treut to the work of lesbian film-makersAndrea Weiss and Greta Schiller. They explore the pleasures and problems of lesbian spectatorship, both in mainstream Hollywood films includingAliensandRed Sonja, and in independent cinema fromShe Must be Seeing ThingstoSalmonberriesandDesert Hearts. The authors tackle tricky questions: can a film such asStrictly Ballroombe both pleasurably camp and heterosexist? Is it ok to drool over dyke icons like Sigourney Weaver and kd lang? What makes a film lesbian, or queer, or even post-queer? What about showing sex on screen? And why do lesbian screen romances hardly ever have happy endings?Immortal, Invisibleis splendidly illustrated with a selection of images from film and television texts. | Immortal Invisible by Tamsin Wilton, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
