LGBT Britain on Film: Why study queer history?, Goldsmiths, University
LGBT Britain on Film: Why Study Queer History? is an evening of archive film screenings relating to LGBT lives in 20th Century Britain. The films screened will be Framed Youth: The Revenge of the Teenage Perverts (1983), a documentary produced by the London Lesbian and Gay Youth Video Project and now held by the London Community Video Archive (LCVA), and Britain on Film: LGBT Britain, a series of archive films including some of the earliest known representations of LGBT people on screen. The evening will be introduced by Justin Bengry, convenor of the first MA in Queer History, at Goldsmiths, University of London. He will respond to the questions 'why study queer British history in the 21st Century?' and 'what does studying queer histories mean for queer futures?'
