I sommar visar Stockholm Queer Filmfestival i samarbete med Pride House åter igen en film på Kulturhusets tak. Filmen har vunnit pris på Köpenhamns Gay & Lesbian Film Festival och sägs vara den första danska dokumentären om danska flators liv och kultur.

“I never actually said ‘Hello, my name is Lesbian’”, says one anonymous 84-year-old woman. Ever since her young days in the Denmark of the 1950s she has lived out her lesbian life on the quiet. “We stole each other’s women”, she says, because there just weren’t that many around, and even if you’d broken up you only had the same few places to go to. Loneliness lurked just round the corner.

‘Hello my name is Lesbian’ shows modern lesbian lifestyle and culture in all it’s diversity as it is lived in one of the most sexually liberated countries in the world. Set against historic footage from the last five decades, women aging from 19 to 84, share their views on sex, family gatherings, parental roles, night life and careers: every facet of the lives we lead, viewed through the eyes of women who have chosen identities departing from the norm.

VISAS FREDAG 30 JULI 22.00 PÅ PRIDE HOUSE, KULTURHUSET
