Immortal, Invisible: Lesbians and the Moving Image Summary

Immortal, Invisible: Lesbians and the Moving Image is 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-makers Andrea Weiss and Greta Schiller. They explore the pleasures and problems of lesbian spectatorship, both in mainstream Hollywood films including Aliens and Red Sonja, and in independent cinema from She Must Be Seeing Things to Salmonberries and Desert Hearts.

The authors tackle tricky questions: Can a film such as Strictly Ballroom be both pleasurably camp and heterosexist? Is it OK to drool over dyke iconsw 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, Invisible is splendidly illustrated with a selection of images from film and television texts, and will a significant contribution to the areas of queer theory and film studies.
