Poster for Dykes, Camera, Action! courtesy of Caroline Berler.

A screening of director Caroline Berler’s 2018 documentary Dykes, Camera, Action!, which examines queer women’s cinema from the mid-twentieth century through the present. Lesbian filmmakers have used the cinema to build visibility and transform the social imagination about queerness.

The documentary features filmmakers Barbara Hammer, Su Friedrich, Rose Troche, Cheryl Dunye, Yoruba Richen, Desiree Akhavan, Vicky Du, film critic B. Ruby Rich, Jenni Olson, and others as they share moving and often hilarious stories from their lives and discuss how they have expressed queer identity through film. The screening will be followed by a prerecorded panel discussion with some of the interviewees, moderated by Jenni Olson.
