Director: Barbara Hammer
Cast: Ann Maguire, Jane Fine, Cocoa Fusco, David Del Tredici
USA, 2000, 66', b&w, color, English with Turkish subtitles
 
In this wonderfully irreverent yet empowering film, Barbara Hammer traces lesbian history by presenting an extraordinary array of archival footage – and then playfully manipulates it to make it seem as though lesbians were everywhere. From popular films to newsreels, sex ed pics, stag reels, medical and educational films, old nudies and more, History Lessons reclaims and rewrites lesbian history.
