and the c�ntribution of their own time and labor. Working with an all­ volunteer crew of twenty-five I�sbians and gay men, most of whom were professional filmmakers, they divided into four q:>ving camera crews. Each crew interviewed a wide variety of people 'at the' gathering site in the morning, along the march route, and finally at the rally in front of the Washington Monument. Throughout the day they continued to document the overall event, as well as shooting "Movie Snapshots" . These snapshots were set up with stationary cameras in "postcard" settings. With backgrounds that clearly establish them in Washington D.C., lesbians and gay men came before the cameras to make their statements to the world, to their parents, to their friends at home. Everyone and anyone was invited in front of the camera to deliver any message they wished. It is t�ese statements, some funny, some poignant, some profound, that open and close the film. They, . more than anything else, capture the humor, the struggles, the depth, the strength and the diversity of gay people in this country.

What today seems so clearly a literal story of lesbian love has for years been shrouded with safe, suspiciously guarded interpreta­ tions. The struggle against sexual repression-a struggle that per­ meates the entire film-has, in the years since 1931, been overlooked and even trivialized by critics who refuse to acknowledge Maedchen in Uniform's primary concern; love

LOT IN SODOM

U.S.A.

1933

Melville Webber & J.S. Watson Jr

Directors

Inspired by German expressionism, Lot in Sodom is an early and important film in the history of American avant garde cinema. The stqry of the Sodomites is told with pointed psychological confrontations, geometrical decors and multiple super-imposition of the same image echoing across the screen. The overlapping multiplies the sensual landscape of human flesh and gives a choreographic grace to the erotic movements of the Sodomites.

It is ultimately as important to understand the attitudes of Hollywood toward gay men and lesbians as it is to understand the attitudes of society as a whole towards gays.

TWICE A WOMAN

Director:.

The Netherlands

1979

George Sluizer

One of only a handful of feature films about lesbians, this 1979 Dutch production has the tradi.­ tional, obligatory "tragic ending", however, it delights us with sensu­ ous photography, a well-drawn les­ bian character and a minimum of ridiculous lines . True, it is a story of white, upper-class art and theatre devotees who are enticed by the nether world of youth, seduction, fecundity, lesbianism, an9 the lower classes; it still manages to feed our hunger for sor:ne decent and posi­ tively portrayed lesbian sensuality and sexuality along the way. Bibi Andersson is marvellous as forty­ year-old Laura-a museum curator, divorced from Anthony Perkins. She purposefully and quite out of character (unless we consider the contradictions of our own lives) picks up young (we are never sure how young) Sylvia on the street in downtown Amsterdam. Sandra Dumas as Sylvia is a blaze of sexuality who dispenses with social

WE WERE ONE MAN

France 1979 PHILIPPE VALLOIS

Director We Were One Man, seen at the Cannes Film Festival and winner of the Silver Hugo Award at the 1980 Chicago Film Festival, is set in France during the autumn of 1943. Guy, a farmer, lives in isolation in the sparsely populated countryside. One day, in the forest, he discovers a wounded German soldier, Rolf; takes him home, nurses him and makes every effort to prevent his return to the army. Rolf, for his part,' is intrigued by Guy and also attracted to him. The affection, we soon find out, is mutual.

consummate boy-lover, obsessively interested in erotic fantasy, S&M, and mental and physical seduction. Dear Boys, which explores Wolf's desperate attempts to keep two lovers, was filmed in Holland in 1980 and has been praised as a wild, satirical farce; a stunning mixture of fantasy and reality; and as an indictment of the use of sex as power.

Women Against Violence and Pornography in Media has requested that the Festival note that the film LOADS may be objectionable due to the use of heterosexual pornography in some scenes.
