SHE LOVES ME! Join us for a swoon-along screening of the first ever lesbian film. Thrill to the smoulder between dreamy Manuela and gentle Fraulein von Bernburg! Sigh as Manuela abandons her pinafore for doublet and hose! With an all-female cast, directed by a woman and featuring positive depictions of lesbians, Mädchen in Uniform was groundbreaking in many ways and inevitably banned as “decadent” by the Nazi regime but not before generating sackfuls of fan mail from across Germany for its stars and inspiring a “longstockings and kissing” cult in Romania!
Introduction by writer So Mayer of Club Des Femmes, a queer feminist film curation collective, plus live performance, stockings and kissing with Georgeous Michael, the Daddy Figure of Louche magazine, a magazine about drag and queer performance
