"Immortal, Invisible: Lesbians and the Moving Image" is one of the first collections 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. 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 okay to drool over dyke icons 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 illustrated with a selection of images from film and television texts.
